Grill chicken for 6-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through and juices run clear.

Remove chicken from the pan and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

In the same pan, sauté grated garlic and sliced red onion until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.

Add halved cherry tomatoes and chopped cucumber, and cook until softened, about 4-5 minutes.

In a large bowl, combine cooked farro, sautéed vegetables, sliced kalamata olives, and lemon zest.

Drizzle with lemon juice and toss to combine.

Top with sliced grilled chicken, crumbled feta cheese, and chopped parsley.

Serve with tzatziki sauce and lemon wedges.
