Balsamic Chicken and Farro Salad
You know those salads that feel more like a side dish than a meal? This isn’t one of them. This Balsamic Chicken & Farro Power Salad has everything you need—chewy farro, roasted veggies, juicy chicken, and a little sweetness from golden raisins. Toss it all in balsamic dressing, and you’ve got a hearty salad that actually keeps you full.
The best part? It’s easy to throw together with whatever you have on hand. I often grab a rotisserie chicken to make it even faster (because sometimes dinner needs to be low effort, right?).
Why You’ll Love It
Filling but fresh – the farro makes it hearty, but the veggies keep it light.
Next-day friendly – it’s just as good cold from the fridge for lunch.
Sweet + savory goodness – the golden raisins with balsamic are a little unexpected but so good.
Flexible – grilled chicken, rotisserie chicken, or even chickpeas all work here.
What You’ll Need
1 package farro (cook according to the directions)
1 zucchini, sliced and roasted
1 cup corn, roasted (frozen works fine!)
1 red pepper, roasted
½ cup golden raisins
1 cup grilled or shredded rotisserie chicken
Primal Kitchen Balsamic Dressing (or your favorite brand)
How to Make It
Cook the farro and set it aside.
Roast your zucchini, corn, and red pepper until tender and a little browned ( drizzle with olive oil, salt/pepper)
In a big bowl, toss together the farro, roasted veggies, chicken, and raisins.
Drizzle on balsamic dressing, mix it up, and adjust to taste.
That’s it—you’ve got a colorful, hearty salad that works for dinner, meal prep, or packing for a quick mom-lunch.
Easy Add-Ons

Add avocado on top for extra creaminess.
