Chicken Farro Bowls with Goat Cheese

Farro is an ancient wheat based grain that cooks and tastes like brown rice, but with a more chewy texture. This nutritious whole grain is a great way to mix it up from your usual rice. I've paired it here with some roasted chicken breast, roasted broccoli, and goat cheese. These bowls have over 50 g of protein in under 550 calories, with plenty of complex starches, gut promoting fiber, brain supporting healthy fats, and delicious flavor

Step 1

Add water and salt to a medium pot. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Add in the farro, cover, reduce heat to medium low, and let simmer for about 25 minutes, or until all water has absorbed

Step 2

Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 400F, and line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper. Toss the broccoli with lemon juice, oil, lemon pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Roast at 400F for about 30 minutes, or until browned

Step 3

Cut your chicken into thin cutlets, and add to a large bowl. Season with vinegar, oil, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Add to a parchment lined cookie sheet, and roast at 400F until the internal temperature is 165F (about 14 minutes). Let rest for a few minutes before dicing into bite sides pieces

Step 4

Prepare 6 airtight containers, and evenly divide your food. I got about 150g, 125g, and 100g respectively of broccoli, farro, and chicken per bowl

Step 5

Top each bowl with 1 oz (28 g) of goat cheese
