Roasted chicken with barley
Creamy feta cheese, spinach, and crispy chicken breast
Roasted chicken breast recipes are always very popular with me. This time, I wanted to add a super healthy, fiber-rich side dish. That’s how I ended up with gersli, or pearl barley. Its distinctive flavor goes perfectly with garlic and spinach dishes. The creamy feta cheese is the cherry on the cake. It’s worth trying.
TIP
Spinach gersli works very well as a side dish with fried eggs or as a vegetarian recipe with roasted cauliflower and ricotta. >> Spinach and feta barley with fried eggs recipe

Roasted chicken with barley
Ingredients
For the roast chicken:
- 400 g chicken breast fillet
- 2 teaspoons Roast Chicken Seasoning Salt (I used Kotanyi spice mix)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
For spinach and feta barley:
- 150 g hulled barley
- 400 ml water
- salt
- freshly ground black pepper
- 1 clove garlic
- 5 portions of frozen spinach
- 80 g feta cheese
Instructions
- Grilled chicken breast: Clean the chicken breast to remove any bones. Slice it up. Season with fried chicken seasoning. Heat up your grill pan with olive oil and grill both sides of the meat slices.Remove and place in a heatproof dish. Cover with aluminum foil and steam in 200°C (392°F) oven for 20-25 minutes. This will make it tender and delicious.
- Preparation of the barley: Wash the barley and soak it for an hour. Drain the water. Then place it in boiling water. Add salt. Cover the pot halfway and simmer for 30 minutes over medium heat, stirring occasionally.After 30 minutes, add the spinach portions. Season with salt and pepper. Add the thinly sliced garlic. Stir, then cover and simmer for another 15 minutes or until tender.
- Finally, stir in the diced feta cheese.
- Serve with grilled chicken breast.
