From the Test Kitchen

In this dish, simply seared chicken gets irresistibly sweet-hot flavor from a bold, Mexican-style combo of honey, lime juice, and fiery chipotle paste—delightfully tempered by a dollop of sour cream brightened with fresh lime zest. We’re bringing it all together over a hearty bed of farro mixed with sautéed bell pepper and juicy fresh tomatoes.

Cook the farro
1 Cook the farro

Remove the honey from the refrigerator to bring to room temperature. Fill a medium pot 3/4 of the way up with salted water; cover and heat to boiling on high. Once boiling, add the farro and cook, uncovered, 18 to 20 minutes, or until tender. Turn off the heat. Drain thoroughly.

Meanwhile, wash and dry the fresh produce. Cut off and discard the stem of the pepper. Halve lengthwise; remove the ribs and seeds, then thinly slice crosswise. Peel and roughly chop 2 cloves of garlic. Halve the tomatoes; place in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper. Using a zester or the small side of a box grater, finely grate the lime to get 1 teaspoon. Quarter the lime. Halve the radishes lengthwise, then thinly slice crosswise. In a separate bowl, combine the sliced radishes and the juice of 2 lime wedges. Set aside to marinate, stirring occasionally, at least 10 minutes. In a separate bowl, combine the sour cream and lime zest; season with salt and pepper. In a separate bowl, whisk together the honey (kneading the packet before opening), the juice of the remaining lime wedges, and as much of the chile paste as you’d like, depending on how spicy you’d like the dish to be; season with salt and pepper.

Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, 3 to 4 minutes, or until browned and cooked through. Leaving any browned bits (or fond) in the pan, transfer to a bowl. Cover with foil to keep warm.
