Preparing the Grilled Chicken

Start by marinating the chicken breast in your choice of herbs and spices. Preheat the grill to a medium-high heat. Once the grill is ready, cook the chicken for 6-8 minutes on each side or until fully cooked through. Let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

Making the Tomato-Based Vegetable Sauce

Begin by sautΓ©ing onions and bell peppers in a bit of cooking oil until they're soft. Add the tomato sauce and let it simmer on low heat to integrate the flavors. For a richer taste, you may incorporate herbs like basil or oregano. Adjust the seasoning according to your taste.

Cooking the Barley

Rinse the barley under cold water before cooking. In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil and add the barley. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the barley is tender, which should take about 30-40 minutes. Drain any excess water before serving.
