Do you have a fall back dinner? You know, a tried and true recipe. One you really enjoy making, that’s easy, and that you can always count on to be good?

Oddly, I only have a handful, since I’m constantly creating new recipes for HBH (or other projects). I rarely repeat recipes once they’ve been posted. Which is kind of sad, since I have SO many favorite recipes that I love so much on the blog. Maybe I should start revamping some of the older recipes from way back in the day (like the 1st year or so), and show them some love?

Would you guys be into that? Like retro HBH recipes that are revamped to be easier, better,…and probably prettier too?

Hmm, my wheels are now spinning. Let me know your thoughts!

Anyway, what I’m getting at is this, while I may not have fall back recipes, I do have fall back cooking methods. And one skillet and done dinners are my all time favorites. I have a few them on the blog. And from what I can see, you guys love these skillet dinners too!

This Greek chicken came to be for two reasons.

One, I had just finished up a day of writing. And while I probably should have kept my head buried in my computer screen. I simply couldn’t look at my screen anymore. So naturally, the first thing I decided to do was cook.

Two, it was late. I had very little in my fridge, other than some wilting spinach, herbs, and chicken. I knew it was a skillet dinner kind of night. All of the ingredients I had on hand felt very Mediterranean. So Greek…ish chicken with spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, and farro it was.

I based the chicken seasoning off of my favorite Greek chicken recipe and then pan seared it before adding in the farro. I debated for a while about whether or not I should use farro or quinoa. But in the end, I wanted to use something a little different. If you’re unfamiliar with Farro, it’s a Mediterranean grain that’s very similar to rice. I like to think of it as a chewier rice with a bit more flavor. It’s delicious, healthy, and hearty. Of course, you can use quinoa, or even regular rice, in place of the farro. The cooking times will be similar. But I’m encouraging you to be a little different, and to give the farro a try.

Promise it’s good.

So add in the farro, along with plenty of sun-dried tomatoes and fresh spinach. Then stir in the chicken broth and transfer everything to the oven to finish cooking. Once the chicken is done, your farro will be fluffy, and your kitchen will smell amazing. Finish the dish off with fresh lemon juice, a good amount of feta cheese, and toasted pine nuts.

Simple, but so good, and very healthy too!

Here’s what I can tell you. If I wasn’t making new recipes all day, everyday, I’d be making this Greek chicken once or twice a week. It’s that good.

Also? The leftovers make for a great salad and are soooo goooood when stuffed into fresh pitas. Add a tzatziki and all of the sudden your leftovers become a gyro. Cool. Cool.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
    2. In a medium bowl, combine 2 tablespoons olive oil, the chicken, balsamic vinegar, dill, oregano, paprika, garlic, and a large pinch of both salt and pepper. Toss well to evenly coat the chicken. 
    3. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large dutch oven or cast iron skillet, set over medium high heat. When the oil is shimmering, add the chicken and sear on both sides until golden, about 3-5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet.
    4. To the same skillet, add the farro. Cook 2-3 minutes. Add the chicken broth, spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, olives, and lemon juice. Bring to a boil over high heat and stir. Slide in the chicken and any juices left on the plate back into the skillet. Transfer to the oven and roast for 20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the farro becomes soft.
    4. Serve the chicken topped with feta, dill, and pine nuts.

    I love everything about this recipe. I have made it twice now this week and it makes great leftovers for lunch the next day! A dutch oven is on my kitchen wish list so I can try more of these one pot meals.

    The dish is great.
    a wonderful mix of flavors made with and without the olives and think I prefer without as i am not a big salt person but the feta adds enough fir me. I see the calories but not how many servings that is based on?

    I try to to do recipes under 400 and have never been aiappointed in one I found they your site

    Of course I read all the comments AFTER my dish was in the oven. If there isn’t supposed to be any butter or lemon – PLEASE FIX the recipe. I added the juice of one lemon and am now most anxious/nervous to see how this turns out. WIll be unhappy if I ruined the dish because of a recipe that has been incorrect for several years….

    I made this for my Sunday supper and it was amazing! I subbed orzo for farro, and Swiss chard for the spinach bc that’s what I had on hand. Amazing!!!

  7. The seasonings in the recipe blended so beautifully to create a luscious flavor. My husband and I enjoyed it very much and I would not hesitate to serve this dish to guests. I did add an extra 1/3 cup of farro and used 1 1/2 tsp. of dried oregano instead of fresh. I’m sure the fresh oregano would have been great. Cucumber slices marinated in a yogurt dressing would be a delicious side.

  8. Just finished eating this! Another winner. Another keeper. Im new to farro and just love it as an alternative to rice. Two meals in a row from Tiegan. Both big hits. Garlicky tahini and falafel! Excellent. Thanks Tiegan!

    This was amazing and so easy to make!! I couldn’t get fresh dill, so I used a teaspoon of dried dill instead. I also whipped the feta with yogurt, oil, and lemon.

    This recipe is absolutely delicious!!! I am gluten free, so I used quinoa instead of farro, but the flavors were magnificent! I was looking up healthy mediterranean recipes and found this, and I’m so glad that I did! I took a photo, and I’d be happy to share!

    This dish was absolutely delicious exactly as is. But I also have some ideas on some variations. Variation number one would include double the amount of spinach and I would add Portabella mushrooms. Variation number two would replace the chicken with halibut. This may be my new weekly go to. Thank you so much. Delicious!

  15. I made this for supper tonight and we loved it. I hadn’t used Farro before, and it was delicious. There was a lot of broth, which I wasn’t sure if that was normal, but was so tasty. I was expecting the Farro to absorb the liquid. Thanks for another great recipe.
