Why this works
Farro holds far more fiber than white rice, and yogurt marinade tenderizes the chicken while adding a small dose of live cultures.
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 lb boneless chicken thighs
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt, divided
- 2 garlic cloves, grated
- 1 tsp oregano, 1 tsp paprika
- 1 cup pearled farro
- 1 cucumber, diced
- 1/2 cup kalamata olives, halved
- 1/2 cup chopped dill
- 2 tbsp olive oil, juice of 1 lemon
Method
- 1Marinate the chicken in half the yogurt with the garlic, oregano, paprika, and salt for at least 20 minutes.
- 2Simmer the farro in salted water for 25 minutes, then drain.
- 3Sear the chicken in the olive oil over medium high heat, 6 minutes per side, then slice.
- 4Toss the farro with the cucumber, olives, dill, and lemon juice.
- 5Top with the chicken and a spoonful of the remaining yogurt.
Yvette's tip
Cook a double batch of farro and keep it in the fridge. It is the fastest way to turn any leftover protein into a real lunch.
