Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 cup farro
- 2 cups mixed vegetables (such as bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, toss the mixed vegetables with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread the vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly charred.
- While the vegetables are roasting, cook the farro according to package instructions. Once cooked, fluff with a fork and set aside.
- Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into strips.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice and a pinch of salt.
- To assemble the bowls, divide the cooked farro among 4 serving bowls. Top each bowl with the roasted vegetables and grilled chicken. Drizzle with the lemon juice mixture and sprinkle with chopped parsley and crumbled feta cheese.
