Balanced Meal Plate With Chicken, Buckwheat, Boiled Egg, And Salad Recipe

Step 1: Preparing the Chicken

Start by seasoning the chicken breast with your choice of herbs and spices. Heat a pan over medium heat and cook the chicken until it's thoroughly cooked and golden brown on each side. Let it rest before slicing it into strips.

Step 2: Cooking the Buckwheat

Rinse the buckwheat under cold water before cooking. Bring a pot of water to a boil, add the buckwheat, lower the heat, and let it simmer until it's tender and fluffy, about 15-20 minutes. Drain any excess water.

Step 3: Boiling the Egg

Place the egg in a saucepan, cover with cold water, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, remove the saucepan from the heat, cover, and let it stand for 9-12 minutes. Cool the egg under cold running water, then peel it.

Step 4: Preparing the Salad

Wash the salad leaves and carrot shreds thoroughly. Mix them in a bowl and add your preferred salad dressing (optional). For a healthy choice, consider a dressing made with olive oil and vinegar or lemon juice.

Step 5: Assembling the Plate

Arrange the cooked chicken, buckwheat, boiled egg (halved or sliced), and salad on a plate. This plating method not only makes the dish visually appealing but also ensures a balanced distribution of macros in each bite.
