Buckwheat with chicken in a slow cooker

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make buckwheat with chicken in a slow cooker? Prepare the products. Pre-sort buckwheat, removing garbage and unpeeled grains. I took the chicken fillet, but in general any parts of the chicken will do. The only thing is that it will not be very convenient to eat it with bones. Wash and peel the vegetables. Choose seasonings to taste.

2. Step 2:

   

   Wash the chicken meat and dry it well, excess moisture will prevent it from frying. Cut the fillet into medium pieces, as for goulash.

3. Step 3:

   

   In the bowl of a slow cooker, heat the vegetable oil by turning the slow cooker into a suitable frying mode. To fry chicken with vegetables, it will take 15 minutes in an open slow cooker. Put the pieces of chicken meat in a slow cooker and, stirring it with a wooden spatula, fry for 10 minutes.

4. Step 4:

   

   While the chicken fillet is frying, cut the onion into quarters of rings.

5. Step 5:

   

   After 10 minutes of frying the fillet, when the moisture has evaporated and the meat is browned, add the chopped onion. Mix the meat with the onion and fry them together for another 3 minutes.

6. Step 6:

   

   And during this time, cut the carrots into small cubes or straws. Or grate it on a grater. Keep in mind that the final result in this dish also depends on how you chop the carrots: grated carrots will turn into mush during heat treatment and mix evenly with the rest of the ingredients, cut into strips or cubes will retain their shape.

7. Step 7:

   

   Immediately pour the chopped carrots into the chicken with onions, add salt and seasonings, mix and cook for another two minutes, then turn off the frying program. Or it will end by itself, depending on the model.

9. Step 8:

   

   Wash the buckwheat well under running cold water. Then put it in a bowl with the fried ingredients.

10. Step 9:

    

    Mix buckwheat with chicken and vegetables.

11. Step 10:

    

    Pour water into a bowl with buckwheat and chicken — 4 cups. Always take twice as much water by volume as buckwheat. Mix everything again, this time with water.

12. Step 11:

    

    Close the multivark with a lid and turn on the mode suitable for cooking porridge for 20 minutes.

13. Step 12:

    

    In 20 minutes, after the signal, the buckwheat with chicken will be ready. You can leave it to sweat a little more under the lid, or you can immediately serve it to the table.

14. Step 13:

    

    Arrange the hot buckwheat and chicken into plates and serve for lunch or dinner. A good addition to such buckwheat will be fresh or canned vegetables and tomato juice.
