Pumpkin and Chicken Stew Recipe

 

 

Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 lb chicken breast, cubed
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 large pumpkin (about 2 lbs), peeled and cubed
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup whole almonds, toasted
  • Optional: other nuts such as pecans or walnuts

Instructions:

  1. Cook the Chicken:
    • In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
    • Add the cubed chicken and cook until it is browned on all sides. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.
  2. Sauté the Vegetables:
    • In the same pot, add the chopped onion. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent.
    • Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Add the Pumpkin:
    • Stir in the cubed pumpkin and cook for a few minutes, just until it starts to soften.
  4. Deglaze and Simmer:
    • Pour in the chicken broth, scraping any browned bits off the bottom of the pot.
    • Return the chicken to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the pumpkin is tender and the chicken is cooked through.
  5. Add Cream and Spices:
    • Stir in the heavy cream, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cook for another 5 minutes until the stew is heated through and slightly thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Finish and Serve:
    • Toast the almonds (and other nuts, if using) in a dry skillet until golden and fragrant.
    • Serve the stew hot, garnished with the toasted almonds.

This pumpkin and chicken stew is a comforting dish that combines the sweetness of pumpkin with the savoriness of chicken, enhanced by the warmth of autumn spices. It’s ideal for a chilly evening, and the addition of nuts adds a delightful crunch and additional layer of flavor. Enjoy cooking and savoring this seasonal delight!
