Hot Honey Peach Chicken Grain Bowls
Grilled chicken, peaches, farro, arugula, feta, and a lemony hot honey dressing make a sweet-spicy summer dinner bowl.
Sweet-spicy recipes work best when the heat has something fresh to push against.
Ripe peaches and lemon keep the hot honey dressing bright instead of sticky.
Farro gives the bowl chew, arugula adds pepper, and feta brings salt.
The chicken can be grilled outside or seared in a skillet, but it should rest before slicing so the bowl stays juicy.
Brush the peaches lightly with dressing after cooking, not before.
That keeps them glossy without burning the honey.

Directions
- Cook farro in salted water until tender, 20 to 25 minutes, then drain.
- Whisk hot honey, lemon juice, Dijon, and 2 tablespoons olive oil.
- Season chicken with 1/2 teaspoon salt and sear or grill in remaining olive oil until cooked through.
- Rest chicken for 5 minutes, then slice.
- Sear peach slices for 1 minute per side in the same pan or on the grill.
- Toss farro with half the dressing.
- Serve farro with arugula, chicken, peaches, feta, basil, and remaining dressing.
