In a pot, combine farro and water and salt to taste and bring to a boil. Once water is boiling, reduce to a simmer and cook for 18-20 minutes.

In a large serving bowl, combine sundried tomatoes, artichokes, spinach, red wine vinegar, olive oil, herbs, and seasonings.

Heat a frying pant over medium heat, and spray with oil. Add cubed chicken and season with salt and pepper. Cook chicken undisturbed for about two minutes, and then flip over with tongs and cook for another 2 minutes or until chicken is cooked and opaque.

Add hot chicken and farro into serving bowl with the other ingredients and mix well to help wilt the spinach.
