Cooking Instructions
Prepare the Farro
Rinse the farro under cold water. In a medium pot, bring 3 cups of water to a boil, add the farro, and cook for about 20-25 minutes until tender. Drain any excess water and set aside.
Prepare the Roasted Vegetables
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss your mixed vegetables with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
Make the Beurre Blanc
In a small saucepan, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped shallots and cook until translucent. Pour in the white wine and reduce by half. Remove from heat and whisk in the remaining butter until the sauce is smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Grill the Chicken
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Assemble the Caprese
Slice the grilled chicken, tomatoes, and mozzarella. On a plate, layer the chicken, then top with slices of mozzarella and tomato. Drizzle with balsamic reduction and place fresh basil leaves on top.
Serve
On each plate, serve a portion of farro and roasted vegetables alongside the grilled chicken caprese. Drizzle the beurre blanc over the dish and enjoy!
