Ingredients: P3 Stabilized

1 cup Farro
2 1/2-3 cups water
2 Tbsp. organic butter
2 tsp. sea salt
1 tsp. pepper
1 Tbsp. coconut flour
1/2 c. coconut milk
1 c. onion, chopped
1 c. celery, chopped
1 c. peas
3 whole large chicken breast, cooked and diced
1 bunch broccoli, slightly steamed OR 1 10 oz. pkg. frozen broccoli, cooked
1/2 c. white cheese, grated (I used White Cheddar)

In a medium saucepan, combine Farro, celery, water and 1 teaspoon salt. Heat to boiling. Cover and simmer for about 8 minutes, or until Farro is tender and water is absorbed.

Melt butter in a medium saucepan or skillet. Saute chicken for about 1 minute; stir in coconut flour, pepper, and remaining 1 teaspoon salt. Continue to cook, stirring constantly. Stir in coconut milk and 1 1/3 cups water. Continue cooking and stirring until sauce thickens and gently boils for about 1 minute. Place Farrow mixture into a 9 x 13 pan. Add chicken with sauce mixture. Sprinkle with cheese and bake at 375° for 20 minutes.

Refined grains are not a healthy choice, however, whole grains are! Whole grains provide the body with energy, nutrients and fiber. They contain vitamins and minerals that are vital to good health.

There are many varieties of whole grains. A few of my favorite choices are brown rice, quinoa, barley, spelt, and farrow. Farrow is by far my family’s favorites. Farro (pronounced FAHR-oh) is one of the oldest cultivated grains. Farro is considered the Mother of all grains; the original grain from which all others come from including rice, barley, wheat and rye. It is such a good source of protein and fiber. Introduce this grain in p3 stabilized.

Do Not Choose This:

White rice is a simple carb and is converted to sugar and has very little calorie usage. White rice has a higher glycemic index than brown rice and other whole grains. That index is a measure of how fast a particular food raises blood glucose levels, compared with the same amount of glucose. White rice goes through a refining process which results in loss of fiber, vitamins, magnesium and other minerals, lignans, phytoestrogens, and phytic acid, many of which may be protective factors for diabetes risk. All around, rice is not a healthy choice so next time you have a craving for rice try Farro.
