Barley is quite period. The oldest known bread recipe (Sumerian) is for a
barley flat bread which was eaten and used to make beer. Pliny gives a
recipe for barley polenta.
Your friend's recipe for chicken and barley stew may not be period, but I'd
be willing to serve a thick barley frumenty fortified with chicken at feast.
