October is Pumpkin Month at Veggie Buds Club so we are excited to bring you a delicious and savory main dish featuring pumpkin from Noelle Martin of @motherhoodandmeals!

​Pumpkin is packed with incredible nutrition to support the development and strength of our eyesight, bones, and immune systems. For years I have been making pumpkin muffins, pancakes, and cookies and love how this nutrient dense vegetable adds to their flavor and nutritional value. This year I decided it would be fun to try using pumpkin in a new way and since my family loved it I couldn't resist sharing it here for PUMPKIN month at Veggie Buds Club! You can find the tasty PUMPKIN SPICE CHICKEN recipe below. And to make a really festive meal on Halloween you could serve it with orange sides such as carrots, orange peppers, golden berries, mashed sweet potato, roasted butternut quash, or turmeric spiced cauliflower rice!

Pumpkin Spice Chicken

Ingredients
  • 4-6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts 
  • 1/2 cup low sodium chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup pure canned pumpkin (or your own homemade puree if you prefer)
  • 1/4 cup honey mustard
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp. nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp. turmeric
Instructions
  1. Place chicken breasts on a baking stone or in a glass baking dish whole or in strips.
  2. Mix chicken broth, pumpkin puree, mustard, maple syrup, and spices together and pour over chicken. Add a small amount of additional chicken broth or water to the edges of the pan to prevent the chicken from drying out. 
  3. Cover with foil and bake at 375 degrees F for 40-45 minutes or until chicken breasts are cooked through. (NOTE: Larger pieces will take longer to cook and oven temperatures can vary slightly leading to varying cooking times.)
