Chicken Barley Stew w/Lemon & Tarragon 2/22

Another Food & Wine recipe that is an incredibly hearty winter recipe, but had a little citrus kick that made it almost light and flavorful is the Chicken and Barley Stew recipe I found.  I've been trying more and more to incorporate different kinds of grains and other things into my cooking, and this offered an easy way to try out a barley recipe.

It was pretty easy to throw together, and the leftovers ended up so thick and rich that they were great to have for lunch or dinner!

You can see I actually squeezed in the lemon, but then added the entire half of it for the last 10 minutes of cooking to give it some extra zing.
