Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 medium pumpkin
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 onion, chopped
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cubed
¼ cup butter
⅓ cup milk
2 tablespoons whole wheat flour

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
  • Cut off a 'lid' off the pumpkin. Scrape out all pumpkin seeds and threads with a spoon. Brush the inside of the pumpkin with olive oil and season with salt. Wrap in aluminum foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until pumpkin is soft, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven and carefully spoon out pumpkin flesh without breaking the outer shell. Set hollowed pumpkin aside.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook onion until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add chicken, butter, and pumpkin flesh and cook until chicken is browned on the outside, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir together milk and flour until no lumps remain and pour into skillet. Simmer until sauce thickens and chicken is cooked through, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Pour creamy pumpkin mixture into hollowed pumpkin to serve.

I'm a vegetarian, so I made this recipe with tofu instead of chicken. It turned out great! The tofu was nice and crispy on the outside and the inside was soft and flavorful. I would definitely make this recipe again with tofu.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I had some leftover rotisserie chicken and it worked perfectly in this dish. The pumpkin was a nice change from the usual potato or rice side dish.
