Got this from Real Simple magazine: 1 1/2 cup farro - prepare 1 3/4 t kosher salt 1 T chili powder 1 T brown sugar 2 T olive oil 2 t lime zest plus juice from 3 limes 2 lbs chicken - I used breasts 1 c fresh blueberries 1 large peach diced 1/2 large red onion diced 1/4 c chopped cilantro (I used dried) Mix the fruit, onion, cilantro with 1/2 t salt, 1 t lime zest, 2 T lime juice and 1 T olive oil. Stir together remaining spice and lime juice and rub on chicken (I put in ziplock and let marinate for a couple of hours). Grill the chicken. Serve layered - farro, chicken, salsa. Substitute rice for farro to make gluten-free! We had this July 2022 with my parents, and John, Emily and the kids. It was a big hit.
