MAKE THE MASH
Place the pumpkin pieces in a pot of salted water. Bring to the boil and cook until soft, 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to the pot. Add a knob of butter (optional) and a splash of water or milk (optional). Mash with a fork, season, and cover.
TOASTED SEEDS
Place the pumpkin seeds in a pan (with a lid) over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
GOLDEN GOODNESS
Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the chicken breast dry with paper towel. When hot, fry the chicken on one side for 2-4 minutes until golden. Flip, pop on the lid, and fry for 2-4 minutes until cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
A GO FOR MUSHIES
In a small bowl, combine the chicken stock mix with 15ml of water. Set aside. Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the chopped mushrooms until golden, 5-6 minutes (shifting occasionally). Season and remove from the pan.
ALL THINGS SAUCE
Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the grated garlic and the chopped sun-dried tomatoes until fragrant, 30-60 seconds (shifting constantly). Add 100ml of water and bring to a simmer. Stir in the diluted stock mix and the grated cheese, and simmer until thickened, 1-2 minutes. In the final minute, add the shredded spinach. Remove from the heat and stir through the plain yoghurt and the cooked mushrooms. Loosen with a splash of warm water (if necessary) and season.
TURN UP THE HEAT
Heat the mash over medium heat before serving if necessary.
DIG IN
Plate up the pumpkin mash and serve the chicken alongside. Spoon over the creamy Tuscan sauce. Sprinkle over the toasted pumpkin seeds. Dig in, Chef!
