Buckwheat Groats Chicken Sauerkraut Avocado Spinach

Instructions

Marinade: Mix yogurt, olive oil, lime juice, and paprika in a large nonreactive bowl. Add chicken, coat well, and refrigerate at least 30 min or up to 1 day.
Buckwheat: Place groats in a pot with 2 cups water. Boil, reduce to low, cover, and simmer about 10 min until tender but holding shape. Drain excess water; set aside.
Grill chicken: Preheat grill to 450°F (or heat a grill pan over high). Wipe excess marinade from chicken and grill 8–10 min per side to an internal temp of 165°F.
Dressing: While chicken grills, char scallions directly on the grill 5–7 min. Chop small, combine with olive oil, lime juice, and salt.
Salad: Gently toss groats and spinach with most of the dressing. Divide among bowls and top with sauerkraut, avocado, and grilled chicken. Drizzle remaining dressing, add a dollop of yogurt, a sprinkle of lime zest, and serve with lime wedges.
