Ingredients
-
12 bone-in, skinless chicken thighs (about 2 1/4 lbs.)
-
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
-
¼ teaspoon black pepper
-
2 coffee spoons dried oregano, divided
-
1 ¼ coffee spoons kosher salt, divided
-
2 soup spoons olive oil, divided
-
1 cup chopped yellow onion
-
1 large red pepper, cut into 2-inch-long, 1/2-inch-thick strips
-
1 large green pepper, cut into 2-inch-long, 1/2-inch-thick strips
-
5 garlic cloves, chopped
-
½ teaspoon saffron threads (optional)
-
½ teaspoon cumin powder
-
2 ½ cups unsalted chicken broth
-
1 ½ cups raw farro, rinsed and drained
-
1 (14.5 ounces) can unsalted diced tomatoes, drained
-
6 big chili-stuffed green olives, sliced
-
1 cup frozen green peas
-
Fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves (optional)
Directions
-
Combine chicken, vinegar, black pepper, 1 teaspoon oregano, and ¼ teaspoon salt in a bowl; turn to coat chicken on all sides. Leave to rest for 20 minutes; draining.
-
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add 6 thighs to the pan in a single layer; cook until nicely browned, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a plate. Repeat process with remaining 1 tablespoon oil and remaining 6 chicken thighs.
-
Reduce heat to medium. Add onion, pepper and garlic to pan; cook, stirring often, until tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in saffron (if using), cumin, 1 teaspoon oregano, and 1 teaspoon salt; cook 1 minute. Stir in broth, farro and tomatoes. Increase heat to high; bring to a boil. Return the chicken and any accumulated juices to the pan. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and cook until chicken is cooked through, about 20 minutes.
-
Add the olives. Cook uncovered until farro is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed, about 8 minutes. Stir in peas; cook until peas are tender, about 3 minutes. Garnish with parsley, if desired.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.
*Daily Values (DV) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. The Percent Daily Value (%DV) listed on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of these total recommended amounts. According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000-calorie diet. Depending on your caloric needs or if you have a health problem, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, people following a heart-healthy diet are recommended to consume less sodium daily than those following a standard diet.)
