Indulge in the Rich Flavors of Fall with Pumpkin Chicken Stew

The Season of Pumpkin Spice: Pumpkin Chicken Stew

Today, I’m excited to share a cozy and flavorful dish perfect for the autumn season – Pumpkin Chicken Stew. This hearty stew combines the rich flavors of pumpkin with tender chicken and a blend of aromatic spices for a truly comforting meal.

Ingredients:

• 2 chicken breasts, diced
• 1 small pumpkin, peeled and cubed
• 1 onion, chopped
• 3 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1-inch piece of ginger, grated
• 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg
• 4 cups of chicken broth
• 1 can of coconut milk
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons of olive oil

Kitchen Tools:

• knife
• cutting board
• large pot
• wooden spoon

To start, heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger, sautéing until fragrant. Next, add the diced chicken breast, cooking until lightly browned on all sides.

Once the chicken is cooked through, add the cubed pumpkin to the pot, along with the cinnamon and nutmeg. Stir well to coat the pumpkin and chicken with the aromatic spices. Pour in the chicken broth and coconut milk, bringing the stew to a gentle simmer.

Cover the pot and let the stew simmer for about 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the pumpkin to become tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting the spices if needed.

Once the stew is thick and fragrant, remove from heat and serve hot. The creamy coconut milk, sweet pumpkin, and savory chicken create a delightful balance of flavors in every spoonful.

This Pumpkin Chicken Stew weighs approximately 1800 grams after cooking, making around 6 servings. Each serving is about 300 grams and packs a comforting 350 calories.

One clever tip to elevate this dish is to sprinkle toasted pumpkin seeds on top just before serving. The crunchy texture and nutty flavor add a delightful contrast to the creamy stew.

I hope you enjoy this Pumpkin Chicken Stew as much as I do. Feel free to customize it with your favorite seasonal vegetables or spices to make it your own. Happy cooking!
