Chicken thighs are seasoned with a mixture of chili powder, brown sugar, and lime before they're grilled to smoky perfection. Meanwhile, dress a bright blueberry-peach salsa in lime juice and toss in chopped onion and cilantro for a zingy, irresistible topping. Chewy farro rounds out the meal, but feel free to use another grain, like rice or quinoa. Try the blueberry-peach salsa served with grilled fish or shrimp too. Ingredients 1.50 cups pearled or semi-pearled farro 1 ¾ teaspoons kosher salt, divided 1 tablespoon chili powder 1 tablespoon light brown sugar 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided, plus more for grill grates 2 teaspoons lime zest plus 1/4 cup fresh juice (from 3 limes), divided 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs 1 cup fresh blueberries (6 oz.) 1 cup chopped fresh peach (from 1 large peach) .50 cup chopped red onion ¼ cup finely chopped fresh cilantro Directions Bring 4 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Stir in farro and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Reduce heat to medium; simmer, stirring occasionally, until farro is tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain. Meanwhile, stir together chili powder, sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon oil, 1 teaspoon lime zest, and 2 tablespoons lime juice in a large bowl. Add chicken and toss to coat. Stir together blueberries, peach, onion, cilantro, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon oil, 1 teaspoon lime zest, and 2 tablespoons lime juice in a bowl. Oil grates and preheat grill to high (450°F to 500°F). Grill chicken, covered, until browned and a thermometer inserted in thickest part registers 165°F, about 5 minutes per side. Serve chicken over farro, topped with salsa.
