Buckwheat with chicken
4 servings
30 minutes
Simple, filling and cheap - buckwheat with chicken will be a great option for a quick and tasty dinner. Chicken can be replaced with pork, then the cereal in the recipe name will receive the proud prefix "merchant style". If you simmer all the ingredients in a frying pan with thick walls, the buckwheat will melt from the juices of the frying and chicken and will not have time to burn. And you can also sprinkle the finished dish with parmesan - it will turn out absolutely wonderful.
