Za’atar Chicken with Farro, Beets and Mint

This is a great week night meal with lots of flavor and easy to put together.  The farro makes it hearty and healthy and is simple to cook in chicken stock while you are making the chicken and assembling the rest of the dish.  The fresh mint and goat cheese add a lot of flavor and bring it all together. If you have leftover roasted beets, this recipe puts them to good use.  For a really quick cheat, you can use Trader Joe’s cooked beets in the refrigerator section. They are peeled and ready to go. I always have them in the refrigerator and they are a great addition to salad. To make the za’atar spice blend, combine toasted sesame seeds, sumac and thyme and store it in a jar.  Click here for the recipe….
