Ingredients
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2/3 cup pearl barley
- 1-1/2 cups chopped trimmed green beans
- 1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup finely minced red onions
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh basil
- Vinaigrette
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp wine vinegar
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1/2 tsp dried Italian herb seasoning
- 1/4 tsp salt

Preparation
Vinaigrette: In large bowl, whisk together oil, vinegar, mustard, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Transfer 2 tbsp (25 mL) to large shallow dish; add chicken, turning to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 10 minutes. (Make-ahead: Refrigerate for up to 8 hours.)
Meanwhile, in saucepan of boiling water, cover and cook barley for 10 minutes. Add green beans; cook until tender-crisp and barley is tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and toss with vinaigrette.
Place chicken on greased grill over medium-high heat; close lid and cook, turning once, until no longer pink inside, about 10 minutes. Cut into cubes.
