directions

  • Cut the pumpkin into 1/4-inch thick slices. Add about 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the pan. Season pumpkin with salt and cook pumpkin until nicely browned on each side over medium heat. Remove from pan and set aside.
  • Season chicken with salt, pepper, sage and dried coriander. Add a bit more olive oil to the pan and cook chicken until nicely browned on both sides - about 6 minutes.
  • Remove the chicken from the pan (set aside with the pumpkin).
  • Add butter to the pan and whisk in 2 teaspoons of flour. Whisk for about a minute, then add the chicken stock.
  • Add a dash of cream to the sauce, season with salt and pepper and remove from the heat.
  • Toss the spinach with lemon juice, and a drizzle of olive oil.
  • Arrange a small pile of spinach on the plate, top with 2 pieces of pumpkin and 2 pieces of chicken. Drizzle thyme sauce over the top and enjoy.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I've just returned to the States after living in Japan for 2 years and am undergoing some major life changes. It's great to be able to buy good coffee, licorice and tortillas again! <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/untitled.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"><img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/200_PACpic.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"><img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/pacbanner.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> Ratings: I often give 4 or 5 star ratings, but I usually only try recipes that I know I'll like. 5 Stars - it was fantastic and I wouldn't change a thing. 4 stars - it's a very good recipe, will make again but changed it just a little. 3 stars - it was an okay recipe, but there were things I'd definitely change if I made it again. 2 stars - the recipe really didn't impress us much (by us I mean the hubby and myself) 1 star - there might have been something wrong with the recipe posting to begin with, because it was a complete failure (I haven't had any of these!)
