  • 1 tablespoon french mustard vinaigrette*
  • 4 ounce grape tomatoes, cut in half
  • 1/2 ounce oven roasted roma tomatoes**

  2. Place the chicken onto a clean, hot and lightly oiled “griddle pan” set over medium high heat.
  3. Cook the chicken until half done.
  4. Flip the chicken over and baste with the French Mustard Vinaigrette and cook until the chicken is done.

  6. Pour the Balsamic Vinaigrette into the pan and season with salt and black pepper.
  7. Cook the ingredients for 20-30 seconds.
  8. Mound the cooked farro onto the center of a serving dish (have previously cooked the farro according to box/bag directions, about 30 minutes).
  9. Place the steamed asparagus spears onto the serving plate around the farro (have previously steamed the asparagus for about 5-10 minutes, depending on thickness of spears).
  10. Set the chicken breasts onto the serving plate, on top of the farro, and partially covering some of the asparagus.
  11. Sprinkle the warm tomato and artichoke mixture over the chicken.
