Method

1

Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and cut it into bite-sized pieces. Season generously with salt and pepper.

2

Cook in your multicooker with a splash of vegetable oil using the BAKE or FRY setting.

3

Peel, rinse, and chop your carrots and onions. The cut doesn't matter much—I like to grate my carrots and slice the onions into half-rings.

4

Once the meat is nicely browned, add your prepped vegetables and let them cook for a bit.

5

Rinse the pearl barley and add it to the meat and vegetables.

6

Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and your favorite spices.

7

Pour in warm, boiled water and switch to PORRIDGE or PILAF mode. After the program finishes, I don't rush to open the lid—I let it sit for another 30 minutes. This allows the pilaf to steam through properly and reach perfect doneness.
