Cooking Steps
- Before starting, preheat the oven to 425°F.
Wash and dry all produce. - To a medium pot, add farro, 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) salt and 3 cups (6 cups) water. Bring to a boil over high. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low.
- Cook uncovered for 20-24 min, until farro is tender but still firm to the bite. Strain farro, then return to the pot, off heat.
- 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.
- Pat chicken dry with paper towels. To a large bowl, add chicken, 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) olive oil, half the lemon zest and half the garlic. Toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper, if you like.
- 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. Carefully wipe the pan clean.
- Roast in the middle of the oven for 7-9 min, until cooked through.**
- 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, if you like.
- To the farro, add parsley, 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) olive oil, lemon juice, remaining lemon zest and remaining garlic. Season with salt and pepper, if you like, then toss to combine.
- Divide chicken, farro and veggies between plates.
- Squeeze a lemon wedge over top.
