Easy Tuscan Chicken and Farro Skillet image

Farro is a wonderful grain that imparts incredible texture in the one-skillet meal. I use cantanzaro herbs from the Savory Spice Shop® because they're a notch above simple Italian seasoning.

Time 1h20m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 ½ tablespoons Italian seasoning, divided
1 ½ teaspoons garlic salt, divided
2 tablespoons butter
1 small onion, chopped
8 ounces baby bella mushrooms, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 cups chicken broth
1 ½ cups farro
1 pinch red pepper flakes
½ cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
2 tablespoons grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, or to taste

Steps:

  • Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil.
  • Season chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning and 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt; place in the hot skillet. Sear until golden but not cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Remove to a plate.
  • Add butter to the skillet. Add onion to melted butter and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions have caramelized, 5 to 6 minutes. Add mushrooms and garlic and cook, stirring, until mushrooms have softened slightly, 3 to 4 minutes. Season with remaining 1 teaspoon garlic salt and 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning; stir until fragrant, another 30 seconds.
  • Add chicken broth and farro; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, add chicken breasts back into the skillet, nestling them into the vegetables. Cover skillet and simmer until farro has absorbed all the broth, 40 to 45 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Sprinkle 1/2 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese over chicken and vegetables in the skillet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cheese has melted and is golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Serve with remaining cheese, if desired.

This recipe is very versatile. I've made it with different types of chicken (boneless, skinless breasts, thighs, and drumsticks) and it's always turned out great. I've also used different types of farro (pearled, semi-pearled, and whole grain) and it

I didn't have any artichoke hearts on hand, so I used roasted red peppers instead. It was a great substitute and the dish turned out great.

I'm not a fan of sun-dried tomatoes, so I omitted them from the recipe. The dish was still delicious, and I'll definitely make it again.

This recipe was a disaster! The chicken was overcooked and the farro was mushy. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The chicken was a bit dry and the farro was a bit too chewy. I would probably try a different recipe next time.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra garlic and chili flakes to give it some more flavor. Overall, it was a good recipe, but I would make some adjustments next time.

Loved the combination of flavors in this dish. The sun-dried tomatoes and artichoke hearts added a nice tanginess, and the spinach gave it a pop of freshness. Will definitely make this again!
