Skillet Pumpkin Chicken
Ingredients
- 300 g chicken breast
- 300 g pumpkin
- 1 small red onion
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp paprika
- ½ tsp ground cumin
- salt and pepper to taste
- ½ tsp rosemary or thyme
- about 50 ml water
- 50 g feta cheese
- fresh parsley or pumpkin seeds for serving
Instructions
- First, peel the pumpkin, then cut it into small, roughly 2 cm cubes.
- Next, cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces, then season with salt and pepper.
- Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large skillet.
- Then, sauté the chicken pieces for 4 to 5 minutes.
- After that, add the chopped red onion and garlic, then sauté for another 1 to 2 minutes.
- Next, add the pumpkin cubes to the skillet, then sprinkle with paprika, cumin, and rosemary.
- Once combined, pour in the water, then cover the skillet.
- After that, simmer over medium heat for about 10 to 15 minutes, until the pumpkin softens and the chicken is fully cooked through.
- Finally, crumble the feta on top, then sprinkle with fresh parsley or a little pumpkin seed.
If you have leftover roasted pumpkin from before, then you can make this even faster. Simply add the pumpkin toward the end of cooking, then warm it through with the chicken for just a few minutes.
