Combine Ingredients: In an ovenproof container, add the pearl barley, chopped onion, chicken, and water. Stir to combine all the ingredients evenly.

Cover and Cook: Cover the container securely and place it in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C). Allow it to cook for up to 2 hours, or until all the water is absorbed and the barley is tender.
