One-Skillet Italian Chicken, Spinach, and Farro image

I make a similar dish with rice and decided to substitute it with farro. We all loved it! I serve this with a side of crusty bread with butter and a salad.

cooking spray
12 ounces skinless, boneless chicken breast, cubed
½ cup onion, diced
1 (14.5 ounce) can chicken broth
1 cup farro
1 (14.5 ounce) can Italian-style diced tomatoes
6 ounces baby spinach
½ teaspoon basil
½ teaspoon dried parsley

Steps:

Heat a skillet over medium heat and grease with cooking spray. Cook chicken and onion until chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove chicken.
Pour chicken broth into skillet and bring to a boil. Stir in farro. Cover, reduce heat, and cook until most of the liquid has been absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes. Return chicken to skillet.

Let stand for 3 to 5 minutes, covered.
