Ingredients

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment or foil.
In a bowl, whisk together 1 tbsp olive oil, zest and juice of 1 lemon, rosemary, oregano, salt, and pepper. Coat chicken breasts in marinade and let sit 10 minutes (or up to overnight for meal prep).
While chicken marinates, cook farro according to package instructions; drain and set aside to cool slightly.
Place marinated chicken breasts on prepared baking sheet. Bake for 18-22 minutes until cooked through (internal temp 165°F). Rest 5 minutes before slicing.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, toss cooked farro, chickpeas, olives, cucumber, feta, parsley, and remaining lemon juice and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Slice chicken and serve atop the chickpea farro salad, garnished with extra parsley and lemon wedges.
