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. Mash with a fork, season, and cover.
GOLDEN GOODNESS
Pat the chicken dry with paper towel and season. Place a pan, with a lid, over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the chicken on one side until browned, 4-6 minutes. Flip, cover with the lid, and fry until cooked through, 12-15 minutes.
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 pumpkin seeds. Dig in, Chef!
