tips & techniques

step-by-step

instructions

Cook Along

1 Prepare the ingredients

Preheat the oven 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 chicken

Meanwhile, pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Season on both sides with salt, pepper, and all but a pinch of the za’atar. Transfer to a sheet pan. Roast 15 to 17 minutes, or until browned and cooked through.* Remove from the oven.

*The USDA recommends a minimum safe cooking temperature of 165°F for chicken.

4 Roast the vegetables

Meanwhile, transfer the carrot pieces, onion wedges, and green bean pieces to a separate 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.

5 Make the dressing

Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine the labneh, feta (crumbling before adding), and 2 tablespoons of water. Season with salt and pepper.

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 roasted chicken with the finished farro. Drizzle with the dressing and garnish with the remaining za’atar. Enjoy!
