Today’s Recipe: Spicy Pumpkin Seed Chicken

Hey there, foodies! I’m excited to share a unique and delicious recipe with you today. As the fall season kicks in, I find myself craving warm and comforting dishes with a kick of spice. That’s why I decided to create this mouthwatering Spicy Pumpkin Seed Chicken. It’s a perfect blend of flavors that will surely satisfy your taste buds.

Ingredients:

  • mixing bowl
  • baking dish
  • skillet

For this recipe, you’ll need:
– 500g chicken breast, cut into strips
– 100g pumpkin seeds
– 2 tbsp olive oil
– 1 onion, finely chopped
– 2 cloves of garlic, minced
– 1 tsp paprika
– 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
– Salt and pepper to taste

To start, preheat your oven to 180°C. In a mixing bowl, combine the chicken strips, pumpkin seeds, olive oil, onion, garlic, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together until the chicken is well coated with the spices and seeds.

Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the chicken mixture. Cook until the chicken is browned on all sides, stirring occasionally. Transfer the chicken to a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the pumpkin seeds are crunchy.

Once the Spicy Pumpkin Seed Chicken is ready, serve it hot with your favorite side dishes. The combination of the tender chicken, crunchy pumpkin seeds, and fiery spices is sure to impress your taste buds!

Tip:

For an extra crunch, try adding a handful of crushed tortilla chips to the chicken mixture before baking. It adds a fun texture and flavor to the dish!

The total weight of the cooked Spicy Pumpkin Seed Chicken is approximately 700g, with 4 servings. Each serving weighs around 175g, and has an estimated calorie count of 300 per serving.

I hope you give this recipe a try and enjoy it as much as I do. Feel free to customize it with your favorite spices or add-ins to make it your own. Happy cooking!
