Ingredients

  • 1 cup Farro find it near rice at the grocery store
  • 1 ½ cups Water
  • 1 cup Chicken Broth
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • 1 cup Shredded Chicken
  • 2 cups Baby Spinach
  • 1 cup quartered Cherry Tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice
  • ¼ cup crumbled Goat Cheese

Instructions

  • Combine the farro, water, and chicken broth in a medium pot. I use some chicken broth to cook the farro to add some extra flavor, I do the same thing with quinoa. Bring to a simmer and stir in the salt. Let simmer for 25-30 minutes, until the farro is soft, but still chewy.
  • Once the farro is cooked, add the spinach and olive oil to the pot with the farro, stir, and cover. After about 2 minutes the spinach will have wilted.
  • Add the chicken, lemon juice, and goat cheese to the farro, and stir together until the goat cheese has melted.
  • Toss in the tomatoes and transfer to a bowl to serve.
  • Either serve warm right away, or refrigerate and serve chilled.
