Make chicken broth from the chicken breast. Remove the chicken from the broth and cut it into pieces - you'll need it at the very end.

Add the barley groats to the boiling broth and cook for 15 minutes.

Add the peeled, diced potatoes and carrots, season with salt, and cook for another 15 minutes.

Once everything is cooked, add the chopped herbs, the chicken, and a little vegetable oil. Bring to a boil and turn off the heat.
