Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook Farro

    Halve, peel, and mince the shallot. Bring 2⅔ cups water and a pinch of salt to a boil in a medium pot. Stir in the farro and shallot. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 25–30 minutes until tender. Drain any excess water and return farro to pot.
    Tip: You can prep the other ingredients while the farro simmers.
  2. 2

    Prep Ingredients

    Wash and dry all produce. Halve the grape tomatoes lengthwise. Cut the mozzarella into small cubes.
  3. 3

    Butterfly Chicken

    With your hand on top of one chicken breast, cut ¾ of the way through horizontally, stopping before slicing all the way through. Open it like a book. Repeat with the remaining chicken. Season all over with salt, pepper, and Herbs de Provence.
    Tip: Try to slice evenly to ensure both halves cook uniformly.
  4. 4

    Make Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, honey, and a drizzle of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. 5

    Cook Chicken

    Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over high heat. Add the chicken in a single layer and sear until browned and cooked through, 3–4 minutes per side.
  6. 6

    Finish and Plate

    Add tomatoes, mozzarella, and half the dressing to the pot with farro. Toss to combine and season with salt and pepper. Slice chicken into strips. Divide farro mixture between plates and top with chicken. Drizzle with remaining dressing.
    Cleanup: Soak the pan and bowl immediately to make cleanup easier later.
