And so we took the pan and from the beginning we pour it to the bottom for the previously washed barley, and then we put chicken or chicken fillet on the barley, add water to this and insert it on a very slow fire (at the minimum).

And we don’t move it all at all, for this we need a pan made of aluminum so that it does not stick to the day of the pan. Premerno it prepare for 2 and a half hours. Then we take the meat out of the pan carefully so that the barley at the bottom does not move.
