Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make One-Skillet Italian Chicken with Spinach and Farro.
Step 1
Start by heating a skillet over medium heat and giving it a light coat of cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Step 2
Once the skillet is warm, add in the cubed chicken and diced onion.
Step 3
Cook these together for about 5 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink in the center.
Step 4
Once done, remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside for now.
Step 5
Next, pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a gentle boil.
Step 6
Stir in the farro, then cover the skillet, reduce the heat, and let it simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, allowing the farro to absorb most of the liquid.
Step 7
After that, return the cooked chicken to the skillet along with the diced tomatoes (including their juices), fresh baby spinach, fragrant basil, and dried parsley.
Step 8
Season everything with a sprinkle of salt and pepper to your liking.
Step 9
Cover the skillet again and let it simmer for an additional 5 to 7 minutes, letting those flavors meld beautifully.
Step 10
Once it’s done, take the skillet off the heat and let it sit, covered, for about 3 to 5 minutes.
Step 11
This resting time allows the dish to settle and enhances the flavors.
Step 12
When you’re ready to serve, consider topping it off with freshly grated Parmesan cheese for an extra touch of deliciousness.
Step 13
Enjoy your hearty and flavorful meal!.
