½ cup fresh basil, chopped

1 ½ tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped

2 tbsp pine nuts

2 tbsp Colavita Extra Virgin Olive Oil plus more as needed

Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

1 ½ cups cooked pearled farro (cook according to package directions)

¾ cup chopped roasted Broccolini

¾ cup chopped escarole

¼ cup halved cherry tomatoes

1 ½ tbsp Colavita Balsamic Glaze

2 medium cloves garlic, thinly sliced and sautéed until crisp

Small fresh basil leaves

Put the chopped basil, parsley, and pine nuts in a small food processor or mortar, and pulse or grind with a pestle until well combined. Add the olive oil and pulse to incorporate, adding more oil to thin, if needed. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Mound the farro in a large bowl. Arrange the chicken, Broccolini, escarole, and tomatoes on top. Drizzle with the balsamic glaze and pesto, garnish with the garlic and basil leaves, and serve.
