Cooking the Buckwheat

1. Rinse the buckwheat thoroughly under cold running water until the water runs clear. 2. In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil (use a 2:1 water to buckwheat ratio). 3. Add the rinsed buckwheat to the boiling water, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes or until all the water is absorbed and the buckwheat is tender. 4. Remove from heat and let it stand covered for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork before serving.

Preparing the Chicken Breast

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). 2. Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and any spices you prefer. 3. Place the chicken breast on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. 4. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and no longer pink in the center. 5. Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
