Cooking Steps

1
  • Before starting, preheat the oven to 425°F.
    Wash and dry all produce.
  • To a medium pot, add farro and 3 cups (6 cups) water. Bring to a boil over high. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low. 
    Cook uncovered for 16-20 min, until farro is tender but still firm to the bite. Strain farro, then return to the pot, off heat.
2
  • Trim green beans. 
  • Core, then cut pepper into 1/4-inch strips. 
  • Peel, then mince or grate garlic. 
  • Roughly chop parsley. 
  • Zest, then juice half the lemon. Cut remaining lemon into wedges. 
3
  • Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Add chicken, 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) olive oil, half the lemon zest and half the garlic to a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper if desired, then toss to coat.
  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high. Add 1/2 tbsp (2 tbsp) olive oil. When hot, add chicken. (NOTE: Don't crowd the pan; cook chicken in 2 batches if needed.)
  • Cook 1-2 min per side, until golden. Transfer chicken to an unlined baking sheet.
  •  Roast in the middle of the oven for 7-9 min, until cooked through.**
4
  • Reheat the large non-stick pan over medium-high. When hot, add green beans, peppers and 1/4 cup (1/2 cup) water. Cook for 4-5 min, stirring occasionally, until water evaporates.
  • Add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) olive oil. Cook for 1 min, stirring often, until green beans are tender-crisp. Season with salt and pepper.
5
  • To the cooked drain orzo, add parsley, 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) olive oil and the remaining garlic. Season with salt and pepper if desired, then toss to coat. 
6
  • Divide chicken, farro and veggies between plates. 
  • Squeeze a lemon wedge over top.
