Italian skillet meal with chicken, baby bella mushrooms, and farro for a delightful texture.
Ingredients:
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1.5 tablespoons Italian seasoning, divided
  • 1.5 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
  • 1.5 cups farro
  • 1 pinch red pepper flakes
  • 0.5 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, or to taste
Instructions:
  • In a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat, drizzle in the enticing aroma of olive oil.
  • Prepare the chicken breasts by generously seasoning them with 1 tablespoon of Italian seasoning and 1/2 teaspoon of garlic salt. Place the seasoned chicken in a hot skillet and sear each side for 1 to 2 minutes, ensuring a golden color but not full cooking. Transfer the seared chicken to a plate.
  • Melt butter in a skillet. Cook onions in the butter until caramelized, about 5 to 6 minutes. Add mushrooms and garlic, cook until mushrooms soften, about 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in 1 teaspoon garlic salt, 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning, and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • Pour in the chicken broth and add the farro, then bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low, return the chicken breasts to the skillet, tucking them among the vegetables. Cover and simmer gently until the farro has soaked up all the broth, which will take about 40 to 45 minutes.
  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) for perfect baking results.
  • Generously shower 1/2 cup of premium Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese over the chicken and vegetables in the skillet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes until the cheese is golden brown and melted. Serve with extra cheese on the side, if desired.
