Feta Cheese, Chicken, And Buckwheat Meal Recipe

Preparation of Buckwheat

Begin by rinsing the buckwheat thoroughly under cold water. Then, in a medium pot, bring water to a boil and add the buckwheat. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover the pot, and let it cook for about 15-20 minutes or until the grains are soft and the water is absorbed. Once done, fluff the buckwheat with a fork and set aside to cool.

Cooking the Chicken

Season your chicken breasts or thighs with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings. Heat a pan over medium heat and add a bit of oil. Once hot, place the chicken in the pan and cook for about 7-10 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is fully cooked through and has a golden-brown exterior. Let it rest for a few minutes before cutting it into bite-sized pieces.

Assembling the Dish

In a large bowl, combine the cooled buckwheat with the chopped chicken and crumbled feta cheese. You can add a light dressing of olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to taste. Mix thoroughly to ensure that the flavors blend together nicely. Optionally, you can include some freshly chopped herbs like parsley or cilantro for an added burst of flavor.
