    From the Test Kitchen

    In this vibrant dish, simply seared chicken is elevated by a zesty-sweet glaze of honey and lime, which we're spooning over the chicken as it cooks. It's all served over a hearty bed of farro––finished with lime zest for even more bright flavor––and topped with a cooling sour cream.

    Tips from Home Chefs

    Lime-Honey Chicken & Farro Bowl

    Cook the farro
    1 Cook the farro

    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 and return to the pot.

    2 Prepare the ingredients & make the glaze

    Meanwhile, wash and dry the fresh produce. Thinly slice the scallions, separating the white bottoms and hollow green tops. Remove any husks and silks from the corn; cut the kernels off the cobs. Using a zester or the small side of a box grater, finely grate the lime to get 1 teaspoon. Quarter the lime. Cut off and discard the stem of the pepper; halve lengthwise. Remove the ribs and seeds, then small dice. Thoroughly wash your hands immediately after handling. In a bowl, combine the honey, the juice of 2 lime wedges, and 2 tablespoons of water. Season with salt and pepper.

    Cook the vegetables
    3 Cook the vegetables

    In a medium pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the sliced white bottoms of the scallions, corn kernels, and diced pepper in an even layer. Cook, without stirring, 1 to 2 minutes, or until lightly browned. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 minutes, or until softened. Turn off the heat. Transfer to the pot of cooked farro; add the lime zest and a drizzle of olive oil. Stir to combine. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Cover to keep warm. Wipe out the pan.

    4 Cook & glaze the salmon

    Pat the fish dry with paper towels; season with salt, pepper, and enough of the spice blend to coat on both sides (you may have extra). In the same pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium until hot. Add the seasoned fish, skin side up. Loosely cover the pan with foil. Cook 3 to 5 minutes, or until lightly browned. Flip and cook 2 minutes. Add the glaze (carefully, as the liquid may splatter). Cook, frequently spooning the glaze over the fish, 1 to 2 minutes, or until coated and cooked through.* Turn off the heat. 

    *The USDA recommends a minimum safe cooking temperature of 145°F for fish.
