A hearty and flavorful stew combining tender chicken, aromatic herbs, and wholesome barley.
Heat the butter in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat.
Using unsalted butter allows you to control the saltiness of the dish.
Add the chicken pieces and cook until lightly browned on all sides.
Browning the chicken enhances its flavor and adds depth to the stew.
Stir in the sliced leek and minced garlic, cooking until softened.
Ensure the garlic doesn't burn to avoid a bitter taste.
Add the barley, water, red wine vinegar, white wine vinegar, and bay leaves to the pot.
Stir well to ensure the barley is evenly distributed.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 hour.
Check occasionally to ensure the stew doesn't dry out; add water if necessary.
Add the fresh sage leaves and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
Adding fresh herbs at the end preserves their flavor and aroma.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
Taste before seasoning to avoid over-salting.
Serve the stew hot in bowls, ensuring each portion has chicken and barley.
Garnish with additional fresh herbs for a vibrant presentation.
