Merchant-style buckwheat with chicken fillet - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Absolutely! This recipe is very versatile. You can substitute the chicken with turkey breast, pork tenderloin cut into strips, or even ground beef for a different texture and flavor.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will stay fresh and delicious for up to 3-4 days. Make sure the dish has cooled to room temperature before storing.
Yes, it's easy to make a vegetarian version. Simply omit the chicken and use vegetable broth instead of water for more flavor. You can also add hearty vegetables like sliced mushrooms or bell peppers for a satisfying meat-free meal.
For perfectly fluffy buckwheat, use the correct water-to-grain ratio, which is typically 2:1. Make sure you rinse the buckwheat thoroughly before adding it to the pan to remove excess starch. Also, avoid lifting the lid while it's simmering to prevent steam from escaping.
Yes, this dish freezes very well. Allow it to cool completely, then portion it into freezer-safe containers or bags. It can be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.
For best results, reheat it in a skillet with a tiny splash of water or broth over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally. This helps to rehydrate the grains without making them soggy. You can also microwave it covered with a damp paper towel to add moisture.
Doubling the recipe is straightforward. Simply use a larger pan or pot, like a Dutch oven, to ensure everything has enough space to cook evenly. Double all the ingredients, but keep a close eye on the cooking time for the chicken and vegetables, as it might need a minute or two longer.
