Before starting, wash and dry all produce. Add farro, 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) salt and 3 cups (6 cups) water to a medium pot. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium. Cook uncovered, until farro is tender, 16-18 min. Drain and rinse with cold water. Set aside.
Meanwhile, cut tomato into 1/4-inch pieces.Peel, then cut half the onion into 1/4-inch pieces (whole onion for 4 ppl). Roughly chop olives. Roughly chop spinach. Cut halloumi into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Rinse in cold water, then pat dry with paper towels.Halve ciabatta.
Whisk together onions, fig spread, vinegar, 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) water and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil in a large bowl. Pat chicken dry with paper towels, then season with salt and pepper. Heat a medium non-stick pan over medium heat. When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then chicken. Pan fry on one side until golden, 6-7 min.
