Easy Tuscan Chicken and Farro Skillet
Share recipe
Description
Farro is a wonderful grain that imparts incredible texture in the one-skillet meal. I use cantanzaro herbs from the Savory Spice Shop® because they're a notch above simple Italian seasoning.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 ½ tablespoons Italian seasoning, divided
- 1 ½ teaspoons garlic salt, divided
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 8 ounces baby bella mushrooms, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 1 ½ cups farro
- 1 pinch red pepper flakes
- ½ cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, or to taste
Directions
- 1. Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil.
- 2. Season chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning and 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt; place in the hot skillet. Sear until golden but not cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Remove to a plate.
- 3. Add butter to the skillet. Add onion to melted butter and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions have caramelized, 5 to 6 minutes. Add mushrooms and garlic and cook, stirring, until mushrooms have softened slightly, 3 to 4 minutes. Season with remaining 1 teaspoon garlic salt and 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning; stir until fragrant, another 30 seconds.
- 4. Add chicken broth and farro; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, add chicken breasts back into the skillet, nestling them into the vegetables. Cover skillet and simmer until farro has absorbed all the broth, 40 to 45 minutes.
- 5. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- 6. Sprinkle 1/2 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese over chicken and vegetables in the skillet.
- 7. Bake in the preheated oven until cheese has melted and is golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Serve with remaining cheese, if desired.
