    From the Test Kitchen

    In this flavorful Middle Eastern-inspired recipe, you'll sautéed tender bites of za’atar-coated chicken while roasting a trio of carrots, green beans, and red onion. You’ll then toss the vegetables with warm farro to make a hearty grain salad and finish the dish with a drizzle of creamy labneh mixed with feta cheese.

    Za’atar Chicken Bowl with Warm Farro Salad & Creamy Feta Dressing
    Title
    • 10 oz Boneless Chicken Breast Pieces
    • ½ cup Semi-Pearled Farro
    • 6 oz Green Beans
    • 6 oz Carrots
    • 1 Red Onion
    • 1½ oz Feta Cheese
    • ¼ cup Labneh Cheese
    • 1 Tbsp Za'atar Seasoning (Sumac, Aleppo Pepper, Sesame Seeds, Salt, Thyme & Whole Oregano)
    • 1 Tbsp Weeknight Hero Spice Blend (Onion Powder, Garlic Powder, Smoked Paprika & Whole Dried Parsley)
    Prepare the ingredients
    1 Prepare the ingredients

    Place an oven rack in the center of the oven; preheat to 450°F. Fill a medium pot 3/4 of the way up with salted water; cover and heat to boiling on high. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Peel the carrots; halve lengthwise, then cut crosswise into 1-inch pieces. Halve and peel the onion; cut into 1/2-inch-wide wedges. Cut off and discard any stem ends from the green beans; cut crosswise into 2-inch pieces.

    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.

    3 Roast the vegetables

    Meanwhile, transfer the carrot pieces, onion wedges, and green bean pieces to a sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and the weeknight hero spice blend. Toss to coat; arrange in an even layer. Roast 15 to 17 minutes, or until lightly browned and tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from the oven.

    4 Cook the chicken

    Once the vegetables have roasted for about 10 minutes, pat the chicken dry with paper towels; place in a bowl. Season with salt, pepper, and all but a pinch of the za’atar; toss to coat. In a medium pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle 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. Turn off the heat.

    6 Finish the farro & serve your dish

    To the pot of cooked farro, add the roasted vegetables and a drizzle of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper; stir to combine. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Serve the finished farro topped with the cooked chicken. Drizzle with the dressing and garnish with the remaining za’atar. Enjoy!
