Mediterranean Chicken and Sun-Dried Tomato Farro Skillet
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup farro
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 1/4 cup Kalamata olives, sliced
- 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tbsp of olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tbsp of olive oil and minced garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add the farro to the skillet and toast for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the farro is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
- Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes, olives, dried oregano, and dried thyme. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet and stir to combine. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to heat the chicken through.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese and chopped parsley over the skillet before serving.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
