# How to Make It:

02 - Rub chicken breasts with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill or pan-sear over medium heat for 6–7 minutes per side, until cooked through. Rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly.
03 - Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add asparagus and peas; cook for 2 minutes until bright green and just tender. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking.
04 - Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, pepper, and lemon zest in a small bowl until emulsified.
05 - Combine cooked farro, chicken slices, blanched asparagus, peas, and arugula or spinach in a large bowl. Drizzle with vinaigrette and toss gently to coat evenly.
06 - Divide among plates. Sprinkle with feta cheese and fresh herbs, if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature.
