Chicken Farro Casserole

The cold weather had me craving something hot, creamy, and cheesy. As I discovered with my first farro bake, farro is a great grain for a casserole because its hardy structure holds up well in the oven. The white wine, sour cream, and cream of mushroom combination was perfect for a warming winter meal.

  • 2 cups farro, cooked to al dente
  • 2 TBSP olive oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 6 boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 can cream of mushroom soup
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup white wine
  • 2 tsp chicken bouillon
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella

Sauté the onion in the olive oil over medium heat until it begins to turn translucent. I happened to have half of a red onion and half of a yellow onion that I needed to use up, but you can use whatever kind of onion you like.
