I copied this from a weight watchers recipe.  Each serving counts as 5 points.

MAKES 6 SERVINGS

• 2 tsp vegetable oil
• 2 onions, chopped
• 3/4 pearl barley
• 2tsps chicken bouillon
• 3 cups of water

(I used 1 cup leftover chicken broth instead and reduced the water to 2 cups)

• 3 cups cubed cooked chicken breast
• 2 cups sliced mushrooms
• 1/4 cup almonds

1.  In a saucepan saute the oil, onions and barley until the onions are wilted.  1-2 minutes

2.  Preheat Oven to 350 degrees.  In a dutch oven add the onion barley mixture, chicken bouillon (or chicken broth) and water.  Bake 45 minutes.  (I used a crock pot and cooked on high for 45 minutes).

3. Add mushrooms, chicken and 1/2 the almonds.  Continue to bak until the liquid is absorbed and the barley is tender.  About 30-60 minutes.  Sprinkle with remaining almonds and serve.

** You can use lentils instead of barley - just reduce the cooking time by 30 minutes. **
