  1. 1

    Cook the Chicken

    Pat diced chicken dry.

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil.

    Add chicken to hot pan and stir often until browned and chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 5-7 minutes.

    While chicken cooks, toast panko.

  2. 2

    Toast Panko and Prepare Ingredients

    Place a small non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil. Add panko to hot pan and immediately turn off burner. Stir constantly until lightly golden brown, 3-5 minutes.

    Remove from burner.

    Thinly slice chives.

    Carefully massage farro in bag to break up any clumps. Tear a small slit in an upper corner of bag to vent. Place upright in microwave and heat, 45 seconds. Remove rice from packaging.

  3. 3

    Make the Risotto
