Description
A popular recipe that once sparked a flurry of comments among our users. Should you add cheese or not? Should you sauté the vegetables? Here, everyone is the architect of their own happiness, but our team particularly enjoyed this version, something like French-style buckwheat: a vegetable sauté, buckwheat, and chicken are layered together, soaked in broth, and then slowly cooked in the oven, topped with cheese that melts under the heat, turning into a golden crust. This simple yet enticing dish offers the always-busy residents of the metropolis a taste of home, care, and warmth.
Ingredients
- Onion - 2 heads
- Carrot - 2 pieces
- Cheese Spread - 7.1 oz
- Buckwheat Groats - 12.3 oz
- Vegetable Oil - 1 fl oz
- "Petelinka Thigh Fillet" - 3 pieces
- Chicken Broth - 20 fl oz
- Salt - to taste
- Ground Black Pepper - to taste
- Paprika - to taste
Step by Step guide
Step 1
Chop the onion into large cubes.
Step 2
Grate the carrot using a coarse grater.
Step 3
Cut the chicken into pieces about 1 cm (if using skin-on fillets, you can remove the skin, but it will be tastier with the skin on).
Step 4
Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet, add the onion, and sauté, stirring, until it is lightly golden.
Step 5
Add the carrot to the skillet and, slightly increasing the heat, cook until the carrot is halfway tender. Season with salt and stir.
Step 6
Spread the sautéed mixture evenly in a baking dish.
Step 7
In a separate bowl, season the chicken with salt, pepper, and generously sprinkle with paprika. Layer it evenly on top of the vegetables.
Step 8
Spread the buckwheat evenly over the chicken and smooth it out.
Step 9
Heat water or broth nearly to boiling and pour in the buckwheat groats, using a ladle to pour the liquid into the dish (this helps keep the layer of groats even and distributes the liquid more uniformly).
Step 10
Cover the dish with foil and place it in the preheated oven at 356°F for about 40 minutes (the buckwheat should be fully cooked).
Step 11
Remove the dish from the oven, carefully remove the foil, and sprinkle the buckwheat with grated cheese. Cover it again with foil (make sure the foil does not touch the cheese!). Reduce the oven temperature to 320°F and return the buckwheat to the oven for 10 minutes.
