CHICKEN, BEANS, AND BARLEY SLOW COOKER CHILI

Chicken, Beans, and Barley Slow Cooker Chili image

Quick-cooking barley and pre-cooked chicken makes this pot of chili quick, thick, and comforting. I am going to serve it with Cheddar cornbread. Serve with what ever toppings you might like. I used stock that I made from the picked chicken that I used for the chili. Made it that much richer.
