Fresh tomatoes get crushed with a spoon as they cook to release their sweet natural juices, which come together with briny capers to form a pan sauce for tender bites of chicken. Farro finished with a touch of smooth crème fraîche is the perfect base.

Instructions

step 1
Prepare the ingredients
Fill a medium pot (or large for 4 servings) 3/4 of the way up with salted water; cover and heat to boiling on high. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Halve the zucchini lengthwise, then thinly slice crosswise. Peel and roughly chop 2 cloves of garlic (or 4 cloves for 4 servings). Halve the tomatoes. Roughly chop the capers.

step 2
Cook the farro
Add the farro to the pot of boiling water. Cook, uncovered, 18 to 20 minutes, or until tender. Turn off the heat. Drain thoroughly and return to the pot.

step 3
Cook the zucchini
Meanwhile, in a medium nonstick pan (or large for 4 servings), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the sliced zucchini in an even layer. Cook, without stirring, 3 to 4 minutes, or until lightly browned. Add the chopped garlic; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 minutes, or until softened. Transfer to a plate. Cover with foil to keep warm. Wipe out the pan.

step 4
Cook the chicken
Pat the chicken dry with paper towels; place in a bowl. Season with salt, pepper, and half the oregano. Toss to coat. In the same pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned chicken in an even layer. Cook, without stirring, 3 to 4 minutes, or until lightly browned. 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 plate.

step 5
Make the sauce
In the pan of reserved fond, heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the halved tomatoes; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently and pressing on the tomatoes with the back of a spoon, 1 to 2 minutes, or until slightly softened. Add the chopped capers and remaining oregano. Cook, stirring constantly, 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until combined. Carefully add 1/2 cup of water (or 1 cup for 4 servings); season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring constantly and scraping up any fond, 1 to 2 minutes, or until the sauce is thickened. Turn off the heat. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired.

step 6
Finish the farro & serve your dish
To the pot of cooked farro, add the cooked zucchini, crème fraîche, and half the parmesan. Stir to combine. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Serve the finished farro topped with the cooked chicken and sauce. Garnish with the remaining parmesan. Enjoy!
