3/4 cup uncooked medium pearled barley 
1/4 tsp Pepper 
1/4 tsp Sea Salt 
1 can diced tomatoes, undrained (14.5 ounces) 
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley 
1 tsp dried thyme leaves 
3 large carrots, sliced 

Directions

In 4- to 5-quart slow cooker, place carrots, celery and onion. Place chicken breasts on vegetables. Add remaining ingredients except parsley and thyme.
