Yield Makes 2-4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil plus more for drizzling
3 tablespoons chopped fresh chives, divided
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chervil
1 tablespoon chopped flat-leaf parsley
1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 2 1/2-3-pound chicken, halved, backbone removed
2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Farro with Acorn Squash and Kale
Herb Pistou
1 lemon, halved

Steps:

  • Whisk 1/3 cup olive oil, 1 tablespoon chives, and next 7 ingredients in a medium bowl. Divide marinade between 2 (gallon-size) resealable plastic freezer bags. Season chicken with 2 1/2 teaspoons salt; place 1 chicken half in each bag. Seal bags, releasing excess air. Chill overnight.
  • Place bags side by side in a large pot. Add cold water to cover by 2". Heat water over medium heat until an instant-read thermometer registers 150°F. Turn off heat, cover, and poach chicken for 50 minutes. Transfer bags to a large bowl of ice water to cool, about 15 minutes. Remove chicken from bags; pat dry.
  • Preheat oven to 450°F. Heat vegetable oil in a large cast-iron skillet over high heat. Add chicken halves, skin side down, so chicken sits against sides of pan. Cook, moving chicken occasionally for even cooking, until skin is browned all over. Flip chicken and transfer skillet to oven. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of thigh registers 165°F, about 15 minutes. Let rest for 10 minutes.
  • To serve, divide Farro with Acorn Squash and Kale among plates. Place chicken on top of farro. Drizzle 1/4 cup Herb Pistou around farro. Drizzle 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil over each plate. Squeeze lemon halves over chicken. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons chives over.

This dish was a bit too expensive for me. The ingredients were all very costly. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone who is on a budget.

This recipe was a bit too time-consuming for me. I had to marinate the chicken for several hours and then cook it for over an hour. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone who is short on time.

This dish was just okay. The chicken was a bit dry and the farro was a bit bland. The herb pistou was also not very flavorful. I would not recommend this recipe.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I had to look up how to make farro and herb pistou. The chicken also took longer to cook than the recipe said. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone who is not an experienced cook.

I tried this recipe last night and it turned out amazing! The chicken was cooked perfectly and the farro was flavorful. I didn't have any herb pistou on hand, so I just used a store-bought pesto sauce and it still tasted great. I would definitely rec
