Directions
-
Place chicken pieces, water, pearl barley, chopped onion, poultry seasoning, salt, pepper, paprika, and bay leaf in a large Dutch oven or heavy pot.
-
Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer gently for about 45 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and fork-tender.
-
Remove the chicken from the broth and set aside on a cutting board to cool slightly. Skim any excess fat from the surface of the broth.
-
Once cool enough to handle, shred or dice the chicken meat, discarding any skin or bones. Set the chicken aside.
-
Add the sliced carrots, chopped celery, and sliced mushrooms to the simmering broth. Cover and cook for 20 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
-
Return the diced chicken to the pot along with the frozen peas and chopped fresh parsley.
-
Discard the bay leaf. Heat through for another 2-3 minutes until the peas are warm, then serve hot.
