Lemon Grilled Chicken with Farro and Wilted Greens

Lemon Grilled Chicken with Farro and Wilted Greens is a delicious and super healthy meal that the whole family is going to love! This is a sponsored post in partnership with Cut ‘N Clean Greens. 

May is Healthy Vision Month and I have partnered up with my Virtual Potluck bloggers to bring you some amazing healthy and delicious recipes  that promote eye health!

Y’all know that healthy isn’t exactly my specialty but I do love greens and I mean all kinds.  Collards are probably my favorite, but spinach, kale, mustard you name it, I love them and they are rich in the nutrients that will promote eye health.  I’ve been on a farro kick but you could use barley if you can’t find farro in your local market.

For this healthy dinner, I marinated some chicken breasts with lemons, garlic and olive oil and grilled them up.  I sautéed mushrooms and onions with garlic and added in cooked farro and then added in the Cut’N Clean Garden Greens and let them wilt.  The flavors all came together for a fantastic meal.

The Cut ‘N Clean Greens are washed, cut and ready to use making it so simple to add them to your dinner plans.

Cut ‘N Clean Greens: Celebrating its 20^th anniversary, this is a line of nutrient-dense specialty greens, both conventional and organic. Cut ‘N Clean Greens is considered the cornerstone product of the company and was the first washed, chopped, ready-to-use bagged greens on the market, starting in 1995.
