I make a casserole with chicken thighs:-
place thighs in a casserole dish with sliced carrots, peas and a handful of pearl barley (rinsed), add a chicken oxo cube and water to cover, season to taste and cook in the oven for 2 hours on gas3/4, sorry don't know the electric equivilent. I some times add in diced potatoes for a complete meal but usually serve it with rice. The barley gives it a creamy taste.
Check the casserole half way through as the barley soaks up the liquid quite a lot.
