Preparation
1
Before starting, preheat the broiler to high.
Wash and dry all produce.
To a medium pot, add farro and 3 cups (6 cups) water. Bring to a boil over high. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low.
Cook uncovered for 16-20 min, until farro is tender but still firm to the bite.
Strain farro, then return to the pot, off heat.

Meanwhile, pat chicken dry with paper towels.
In a medium bowl, toss together chicken, Smoked Paprika-Garlic Blend, half the mustard and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) olive oil.
To a foil-lined baking sheet, add chicken. Season with salt and pepper, if you like, then toss to coat.
Broil in the middle of the oven for 10-12 min, flipping once, until cooked through.**

While the chicken broils, peel, pit, then cut mango into 1/4-inch pieces.

Trim roots or top of radishes, if needed. Thinly slice radishes.

Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high.
When hot, add almonds to the dry pan. Toast for 3-4 min, stirring often, until golden. (TIP: Keep your eye on them so they don't burn!)
