Ingredients

  • 1 cup pearled farro, rinsed and drained
  • 2 cups water, or as needed to cover
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch strips
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (16 ounce) package sliced fresh mushrooms
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 4 cups baby spinach leaves
  • 1 ½ cups marinated artichoke hearts, drained and coarsely chopped
  • ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 4 ounces cream cheese
  • 1 ½ teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Step 1
Combine farro and enough water to cover in a large pot. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until tender, about 30 minutes. Drain excess liquid.

Step 2
Meanwhile, whisk together flour, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.

Step 3
Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat in a Dutch oven. Dredge chicken strips in flour mixture, and tap off excess. Working in batches if necessary, fry chicken in the Dutch oven; cook, turning occasionally, until golden in color and juices run clear, about 8 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the center should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove chicken from pan and set aside.

Step 4
Heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in the Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Stir in onion, garlic, and mushrooms; cook, stirring often, until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Pour in chicken broth and use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Continue to cook until reduced slightly, 3 to 4 minutes.

Step 5
Reduce heat to low; stir in spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Add in artichoke hearts and cook another 2 minutes.

Step 6
Add Parmesan, yogurt, cream cheese, and Italian seasoning to the pan; cook and stir until thoroughly incorporated. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 7
Return chicken to the pan; cook until heated through. Serve over cooked farro in a bowl.

Cook’s Note:

You can use any grain in place of farro, if you wish.
