• 2 cups cooked pearl barley (I pre-cook the day before if going to be in a time pinch)
• 1 cup cooked chicken, roughly chopped
• 1 cup canned garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained
• 1/2 cup Pepper Jack cheese, shredded

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Cut peppers in half lengthwise, remove seeds, discard stems and place, cut side up, in a 13 x 9 inch baking dish.

Combine the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce and pepper sauce in a large bowl. Stir in the barley, chicken and beans and spoon mixture in to the peppers. Cover and bake for 40 to 45 minutes.

Sprinkle with cheese and bake uncovered 5 minutes longer or until cheese is melted.
