First of all, we select pebbles and any other rubbish from the buckwheat kernel. Then pour it into a deep bowl and rinse thoroughly in cold running water until the liquid becomes clear, while the remaining debris floats to the surface and can be easily removed. After we throw the buckwheat into a colander with a fine mesh and leave it in it for 5 – 7 minutes to drain off the remaining water.Step 2: cook buckwheat.
In the meantime, we put a cauldron or a pan with a thick bottom on a strong fire and pour purified water into it. After some time, pour salt into boiling water to taste and buckwheat that has already dried.

We take a fresh chicken breast, wash it under cold running water, dry it with paper kitchen towels, put it on a cutting board and remove the film, cartilage, and excess fat from it with a sharp knife. After that, cut the meat into small pieces or straws up to 2 centimeters thick.

Put the mushrooms in turn on a cutting board and chop with a clean knife in layers up to 5 millimeters thick. Pass the garlic through a press or finely chop and immediately proceed to the next step.
Step 5: prepare the gravy.
We put a frying pan on medium heat and pour the right amount of vegetable oil into it. After a few minutes, we lower the chopped chicken there and fry it until the moisture is completely evaporated, stirring occasionally with a kitchen spatula. This will take 8 – 10 minutes.
Then we add layers of champignons to the chicken and cook them together, also until the mushroom juice has completely evaporated, this is 10 – 12 minutes. At this time, we check the porridge, if it is cooked, remove it from the stove.
Then pour the cream into the pan, put the chopped garlic, salt, ground black pepper to taste and cook the gravy for a couple more minutes. Then turn off the heat and let the fragrant mixture brew under the lid. 5 – 7 minutes.
