Ingredients

    3 chicken thighs
    1 tbs olive oil
    1/2 yellow onion
    3 tsp garlic
    1 can diced green chiles
    1 can diced toms (with liquid)
    1 can mexican style stewed toms (with liquid)
    1 can corn (drained & rinsed)
    1 can black beans (drained & rinsed)
    1/2 cup barley
    4 cups low sodium chicken broth
    1 tbs oregano
    2 bay leaves

    Seasonings:

    chili powder
    cumin
    garlic powder
    cayenne pepper
    paprika


Directions

Sprinkle chicken thighs with your choice of seasonings (I used chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder & cayenne pepper). Grill until done and let cool. Remove bones and chop meat, set aside.

In a large pot heat up a tbs of olive oil. Sautee onion until soft & add garlic. Add diced chiles, oregano and seasonings (to taste). I used a little more chili powder and cumin since the chicken thighs were heavily seasoned.

Add both cans of tomatoes w/liquid. Add broth, chicken meat and heat to a boil. Once boiling add 2 bay leaves and barley.

Lower heat, cover and simmer for about 45 minutes. Drain & rinse both the black beans and corn (to remove excess salt). Add beans & corn and heat for another 10 minutes.

Top with cheese, sour cream or avacado and enjoy!
