Start by heating a large stovetop pan to medium heat. While the pan is heating season your chicken thighs with garlic powder and lemon pepper. Once the pan is hot add the oil to the pan, then add your chicken thighs to the pan.
Cook your chicken thighs for about 3 minutes, then flip and cook on the other side for another 3 minutes. After 3 minutes on each side, your chicken thighs should have a nice golden brown color but will not be cooked through, this is ok, you will finish cooking them later. Remove the chicken thighs from the pan and set them aside.
In the same pan, you just cooked the chicken in, add your red onions, farro, capers, and garlic to the pan. Cook for about 3 minutes to lightly toast the farro and soak up some of those chicken juices.
After 3 minutes add the water and chicken base. Stir everything together and turn the heat up to allow the water to come to almost boiling. Cook for 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes give everything another stir, then place your chicken thighs in the center on top of the farro, close together but not overlapping.
Then surround your chicken thighs with your broccolini, again placing on top of the farro, rather than mixing in. (This method will steam the broccolini and finish cooking the chicken.)
Squeeze the juice from half of the lemon over the top of everything. Then cover with a lid and cook for 6-8 minutes.
After 6-8 minutes your recipe should be done, the water should be absorbed by the farro, your broccolini should be tender but still have a slightly crisp, and the chicken will be cooked through. Serve with a slice of fresh lemon and enjoy!
