Mexican Chicken- Oamc - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 cups onions, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced (or more to taste)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 cups water
2 cups Quaker quick barley (you can use regular barley- see note below)
2 (16 ounce) cans chopped tomatoes, undrained
2 (16 ounce) cans tomato sauce
3 cups chicken broth
2 (16 ounce) cans whole kernel corn, drained
6 cups cooked chicken (chopped or shredded)
Spices- use these OR use 2 packages of taco seasoning
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin

Preparation

In a large Dutch oven, cook the onion and garlic in oil until tender.
Add in all ingredients (including spices) except for chicken. Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the cooked chicken; continue simmering another 10 minutes or until the chicken is heated through and the barley is tender.
To freeze: cool, spoon into quart-sized freezer bags, label, and freeze flat.
To serve: Thaw chicken mixture. Heat in a skillet until hot. Serve over corn tortilla chips or scoop into flour tortillas, fajita-style.
Note: If you choose to use regular barley rather than quick cooking barley, you'll want to cook it ahead of time, which takes about an hour. Follow the directions on the box.
