Easy Tuscan Chicken and Farro Skillet Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Italian Recipes. (Easy Tuscan Chicken and Farro Skillet Recipe). Farro is a wonderful grain that imparts incredible texture in the one-skillet meal. I use cantanzaro herbs from the Savory Spice Shop® because they're a notch above simple Italian seasoning.
