Follow The Directions

01

Step

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.

02

Step

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

03

Step

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.

04

Step

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.

05

Step

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

06

Step

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

07

Step

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

For an extra layer of flavor, try grilling the chicken strips before adding them to the bowl.
If you don't have marinated artichoke hearts on hand, you can use canned artichoke hearts packed in water and add a splash of lemon juice or vinegar to the sauce.
Feel free to substitute other grains like quinoa or brown rice for the farro.
Consider adding a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat.
