From the Test Kitchen

We’re making a hearty bed for seared chicken by combining farro with roasted vegetables and grapes (whose natural sweetness is released in the oven, providing delightful caramelized flavor). For rich finish, we’re topping the chicken with a creamy goat cheese sauce.

Cut off and discard the stem ends of the brussels sprouts; halve lengthwise. Halve and peel the onion; cut into 1-inch-wide wedges, separating the layers. Halve the grapes. Peel and roughly chop 2 cloves of garlic. In a bowl, whisk together the goat cheese and 2 tablespoons of warm water. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired.
