Directions
- Bring water in medium saucepan to a boil over high heat. Stir in barley, cover, reduce heat and simmer 10 to 12 minutes or until tender. Remove from heat; let stand 5 minutes. Drain, if necessary, and spread in shallow pan to cool.
- Meanwhile, spray large skillet with cooking spray; heat over medium-high heat until hot. Sprinkle chicken with half of the salt. Place chicken in skillet and cook 5 to 7 minutes or until no longer pink, stirring several times. Remove from skillet and cool 5 minutes.
- Whisk together orange peel, orange juice, lime juice, oil, mustard, honey and the remaining salt in small bowl until blended.
- Place barley and chicken in large bowl. Add orange juice mixture and stir to combine. Add strawberries, blueberries, walnuts and basil; toss together. Serve immediately, on lettuce leaves, if desired. Salad is best at room temperature.
