In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the farro and water. Cover loosely with a plate. Microwave for 8 minutes. While the farro cooks, prepare the vegetables and dressing in the following steps.
Slice the cucumbers and halve the tomatoes. In a small jar or bowl, whisk the olive oil, lemon juice, half the salt, and the black pepper together.
Stir the farro, then microwave for 3 more minutes until tender. Drain any excess water. Place the plate back on top and let it stand for 2 minutes. Done when grains are tender.
Add the sliced chicken to the bowl with the warm farro. Microwave for 1 minute just to heat the meat through. Done when chicken is hot, 165°F.
Toss the farro and chicken with the lemon dressing. Taste and add the remaining salt if needed. Serve with the cucumbers and tomatoes on top.
