Ingredients*
- 2 organic chicken breast
- 4-6 TBsp butter
- 3 TBsp capers
- 1 1/2 lemons
- 1 TBsp dried rosemary
- 1 TBsp dried oregano
- salad:
- 3 cups arugula
- 1 cup uncooked farro
- 1 avocado
- olive oil to taste
- balsamic to taste
- salt and pepper
Servings: 2
Directions
- Cook farro if not already premade. Once done drain and cover to keep warm. 1 uncooked cup should yield about 3 cooked cups.
- While farro is cooking cut and clean chicken breast. Cut each breast into 2-4 strips.
- Heat a medium size saucepan with butter over medium-high heat. Once butter has melted add chicken.
- Season chicken with salt, pepper, and herbs. Cook for about 4-6 minutes on each side depending on the thickness of chicken strips.
- At this point turn heat to high. Squeeze the lemon juice over chicken, and cook for a few more minutes until chicken is light brown and firm to touch. Add capers, and more butter if needed let sizzle and remove from heat.
- In a large bowl combine arugula, farro, and diced avocado. Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic. Mix.
- Serve salad on to two separate plates and place chicken strips on top, if desired add more lemon and salt and pepper to taste.
