Ingredients

4tablespoonsextra-virgin olive oil, divided

1cupfarro

4cupslow-sodium chicken broth, divided

1poundchicken tenders

1tablespoondry mustard

¾teaspoonsalt, divided

¾teaspoonground pepper, divided

11-pound bunch asparagus, trimmed and chopped

2tablespoonshoney

¼teaspooncrushed red pepper

½cupchopped fresh parsley

Directions

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add farro and cook, stirring frequently, until toasted, about 2 minutes. Add 3 cups broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to maintain a simmer, cover and cook until the farro is tender, about 30 minutes. Remove from heat.

Meanwhile, sprinkle chicken with mustard and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook, flipping once, until browned and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part registers 165 degrees F, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and asparagus to the skillet. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper and cook, stirring frequently, until tender-crisp, about 3 minutes. Add the asparagus to the farro and stir until the mixture is creamy, about 2 minutes.

Stir parsley into the farro. Serve the farro topped with the chicken and the sauce.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)

  • Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
