Cooking buckwheat and meat
It is very important to observe the proportions of water and buckwheat when cooking buckwheat in a slow cooker. First of all, you need to prepare all the ingredients included in the dish. Let's start with the cereal. It needs to be sorted out, all small debris, husks, spoiled grains and pebbles separated. Then the cereal needs to be washed. It is convenient to do this by placing the buckwheat in a colander. Rinse until the water runs clear. Leave, without pouring out of the colander, to drain the water.
Next, prepare the meat for cooking buckwheat with chicken in a slow cooker. To do this, you need to rinse the chicken meat well, dry it with paper towels and cut into pieces no larger than three to four centimeters in size. When cutting meat, be sure to remove cartilage and films. Place the meat pieces in a separate bowl and set aside.
Option 4. Buckwheat with chicken and mushrooms in a slow cooker
Mushrooms are ideal for chicken meat. This means they can be used in our recipe without fear of spoiling the porridge. Although mushrooms cannot adversely affect the taste of meat dishes. Moreover, we will fry them with onions before starting to stew.
Ingredients:
- a glass of buckwheat;
- salt;
- chicken legs - 4 pcs.;
- two glasses of water;
- fresh champignons - 190 g;
- oil for frying;
- spices;

Step-by-step cooking recipe
1. Carefully sort the buckwheat, remove any pebbles (if any) and rinse well in cool water.
2. In addition, wash the fresh champignons and onions, then peel them and chop them finely.
3. Pour refined oil into the bowl, turn on the “Frying” mode and heat it for 1-2 minutes. Then add onions and mushrooms.
4. While the ingredients are frying, wash the chicken legs and dry them with paper towels.
5. Carefully transfer the meat to the bottom of the bowl and cook with the onions and champignons for another 10 minutes. As you do this, turn the legs over so they cook evenly.
6. At the next stage, pour out the prepared buckwheat, pour in water, add salt and spices.
7. Set the “Stew” mode and cook the dish for 30 minutes - the standard time for this position.
8. After the signal, turn off the machine from the network and let the buckwheat and chicken stand in the slow cooker for a while.

Now you can move on to cutting up vegetables to prepare buckwheat with chicken and vegetables in a slow cooker. Wash the carrots under the tap, easily remove the peel using a special knife, wash again and chop on a fine grater. Peel the onion, rinse, cut in half and chop into thin half rings. All the ingredients are prepared, now you can proceed to cooking buckwheat with chicken in a slow cooker, the recipe for which is presented above.
Pour a small amount of oil into the multicooker bowl, turn on the frying mode and set the timer for twenty-five minutes. When the oil is hot, place the chicken breast pieces in a bowl and fry them for about ten minutes, remembering to stir. Then place the carrots and onions in the bowl with the meat, stir and continue frying until the end of the set time, stirring occasionally.
After the multicooker turns off, you need to pour the prepared buckwheat into the bowl and pour the required amount of warm, clean water. Add spices to your taste, salt, sprinkle with ground black pepper and lay out a bay leaf. Carefully mix all the ingredients in the multicooker bowl and tightly close the device with the lid. Set the buckwheat cooking mode and set the timer for thirty-five minutes. Then the process of cooking chicken meat with buckwheat in a multicooker proceeds automatically.

Almost all recipes for buckwheat with chicken in a slow cooker have a similar technology. The vegetables are fried first, and then everything else is added in stages. I offer you the most common cooking option for this dish.
Recipe for cooking buckwheat with chicken in a slow cooker
The recipe for cooking chicken with buckwheat in a slow cooker is quite simple, so even an inexperienced cook can handle it. Below is a detailed step-by-step description of each stage of preparation.
You should start by preparing the chicken breast. First, remove the skin from the breast and cut off the flesh.
Then the chicken flesh is washed under cold water, dried with paper towels and cut into large cubes.
The chopped pulp is transferred to a plate or other container, peppered and poured with soy sauce. Stir the chicken to evenly distribute the marinade over the entire surface of the fillet. After this, you can put the plate aside and start frying. The longer the chicken marinates, the tastier it will be.
The onions are peeled off, then chopped not very finely, but not coarsely either.
Carrots are washed, peeled and cut into half rings, strips or cubes. If desired, the carrots can be grated on a coarse grater, but in this case the finished dish will lack brightness.
Buckwheat should also be prepared in advance. First, the grains are sorted from foreign debris and black husks.
Then pour in a large amount of water, grind the grains with your hands and place them on a fine sieve. It is advisable to leave the sieve in the sink for a while so that the remaining liquid drains off.
At this time, turn on the “Baking” mode on the multicooker. Pour sunflower oil into the bowl of the device, add onion and ground pepper or other spices. Sauté the onion for 2 minutes.
Carrots are sent after the onions. Continue to fry the vegetables for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
The marinated fillet is sent for frying. To prevent the chicken from stewing, but rather frying, change the mode on the multicooker from “Baking” to “Frying”. After 5 minutes, when the chicken has lightened, the device is turned off.
Then the washed cereal is added to the bowl and salted water is poured in. The ratio of cereal and liquid should be 1 to 2, that is, for 1 multi-glass of cereal add 2 multi-glasses of liquid. The contents of the bowl are mixed so that the buckwheat is under the chicken.
After this, close the multicooker lid, and set the device to the “Cereals”, “Buckwheat” or “Cereals” mode. The cooking time depends on the selected mode and model of the device; on average, it takes 10 minutes for a multicooker-pressure cooker, and 20 minutes for a regular multicooker.
After the time has passed, the dish is left to simmer under the closed lid for another 10 minutes.
Cooking method
Note to the owner:
- Instead of tomato paste, you can put 2-3 chopped tomatoes in buckwheat porridge with chicken.
- It will be even tastier if you add red bell pepper to the list of vegetable ingredients.

Adviсe:
- Buckwheat porridge gives a lot of scope for creativity in terms of choosing spices. The simplest thing is to add a mixture of peppers. A good option is to combine chicken with Indian curry or Georgian khmeli-suneli.
- When stewing buckwheat with chicken in a slow cooker, at the stage of adding vegetables, you can also put a teaspoon of tomato paste into the bowl. In this case, the taste of the porridge will become more intense.
- Chicken thighs will make a buckwheat dish more fatty and nutritious. For a leaner version of this porridge, it is better to take chicken breasts. If you need to cook something completely dietary, then you should take a closer look at turkey meat, which is an excellent substitute for chicken.
- Carrots and onions are the easiest way to use vegetables in buckwheat porridge with chicken in a slow cooker. Celery root, bell pepper and green peas would also look good in this recipe.
If you don’t have a multicooker at home, you can make this dish in clay or ceramic pots intended for baking in the oven. In this case, the vegetables are fried in a frying pan until golden brown. Then the chicken goes into the pan, which needs to be fried until lightly browned. After this, washed buckwheat is added and all ingredients are fried for a few more minutes. Fill the pots halfway with the fried mixture. Pour the ingredients with water so that the liquid covers the buckwheat “by the finger”. Cook the dish in pots for 30 minutes at a temperature of 150 degrees.
