Did you know that the familiar pumpkin, known in Rus' since the 16th century, was cultivated by Indian tribes in much older times? This is no wonder, because this sunny-orange vegetable (which, by the way, grows up to 200 kg!!!) is very useful, has a beneficial effect on the entire body as a whole, and therefore simply could not go unnoticed. Today, pumpkin and various derivatives from it - juice, oil - are widely used in medicine and cosmetology.

We’ll just try to cook an interesting dish with it. This will be chicken with pumpkin in a slow cooker. Perhaps for some, this combination looks quite unexpected, because many people are used to cooking only, but believe me, meat stewed with pumpkin in a slow cooker is very tasty!

A few words about the role of the multicooker in this recipe. So, when I cooked stewed chicken with pumpkin in a slow cooker, to be honest, I didn’t expect such an amazing result. In my assistant PHILIPS HD3077/40, both the meat and pumpkin became so tender and juicy that I was simply amazed! I think this is thanks to the 3D heating technology. In general, you should definitely try to cook this yummy dish - I’m sure it will turn out just as good in your slow cooker!

Cooking method

1. 
   All the ingredients for the future tasty and healthy dish are collected, and I get started.
2. 
   I wash the chicken fillet, dry it with a paper towel and cut it into small pieces.
3. 
   I turn on the multicooker, pour a spoonful of olive oil into the bowl, set the “fry” mode and place the chicken pieces into the heated oil.

   Since today I decided to prepare a lighter, dietary version of this dish, I will not achieve a golden crust when frying; rather, I will simmer it in its own juice.

4. 
   I cut the onion into thin half rings (you can cut it as you like), finely chop the garlic.
5. 
   As soon as the meat is lightly fried, I add the onion and garlic and, stirring, simmer together with the chicken fillet for a couple of minutes.
6. 
   In the meantime, I cut the champignons into quarters, and cut the pumpkin, previously peeled, into pieces approximately the same size as chicken fillet. I put the pumpkin and mushrooms on top, salt and sprinkle with spices.
7. 
   Pour in the cream and leave to simmer for 20 minutes, resetting the multicooker to the “stew” mode.

   Not only the sound signal, but also the aromas coming from the kitchen will notify me that the chicken with pumpkin is ready in the slow cooker.

8. 
   As a rule, I serve the finished dish to the table using boiled rice as a side dish. Bon appetit!

Notes:

Mushrooms in this dish are only an addition (and my daughter loves champignons), so if you decide to stew chicken with pumpkin, but there are no mushrooms in the house, then feel free to cook without them. Cream can be replaced with sour cream, and spices can be used to suit your taste - in a word, experiment for your health!

Nutritionists constantly talk about the benefits of pumpkin and recommend consuming this vegetable as often as possible. This is especially relevant in the cold autumn-winter period, when our body needs additional vitamins more than ever. Therefore, every housewife should take care in what form to serve this very product to her family. Whether it is the most delicate pumpkin soup, fluffy buns or pilaf with pieces of sunny fruit - everything is equally tasty and healthy.
But there is another fairly light and very appetizing dish - chicken with pumpkin. The combination of products that the recipe offers is very harmoniously chosen. The aromatic pumpkin favorably sets off the chicken meat with a pleasant, unobtrusive sweetness, and spices together with garlic cloves give an additional zest to the finished dish.

How to cook chicken legs with pumpkin in a slow cooker

The first step is to prepare the meat: remove feathers (if any), scales, and rinse the chicken in cold water. Then you should marinate the meat in a marinade of soy sauce, sunflower oil, a pinch of salt, chopped garlic and pepper. 30 minutes is enough for the chicken legs to be thoroughly saturated with the taste of soy sauce and the spicy aroma of spices.


Pour a tablespoon of vegetable oil into the bottom of the multicooker bowl so that the meat does not stick to the bottom of the dish when frying. Lay out the legs, pour the remaining marinade on top and turn on the “Frying” mode for 25 minutes. Cook the meat for 10 minutes on one side, then turn it over to the other and fry for another 5 minutes. There is no need to add salt, soy sauce is already salty.


After this, add the peeled onions and cut into thin rings or half rings. Mix the contents of the multicooker and continue frying for the next 10 minutes.

Cut the pumpkin pulp into cubes of the same size and place in a slow cooker. We also add spices here: allspice, bay leaf, a couple of clove buds. Add a glass of cold water. For the next 25 minutes we will cook the chicken with pumpkin in the “Stew/Stew” mode with the multicooker lid closed.


We decorate the finished dish with herbs, sesame or pumpkin seeds, and serve.


Here is such a simple recipe, you can cook it in any slow cooker and from any parts of the chicken, you can also add other vegetables: potatoes, carrots, cabbage, etc. The dish is very satisfying, can be served without any additional side dish, and goes well with pickled beets and cabbage.

Good day!
I offer my improved recipe for pumpkin stew for those who carefully monitor their diet and cannot afford an extra couple of spoons of their favorite delicacy. There is no butter, sour cream, or mayonnaise here.
So, I turn on the slow cooker. Mine doesn’t have a “stew” mode, I use the “baking” mode - just like from the oven.
I cut the pumpkin into cubes (I have butternut squash, for example), and chop the onion.

Now I cut up the chicken meat - I have two large breasts. Definitely without skin. I don’t make it too small, I get medium sized cubes.

You can do without yogurt, it will turn out no worse)
After the required time has passed, I add the resulting sauce, stir, and close the lid for a couple of minutes.
After a couple of minutes, I open the lid and simmer in this form until the pumpkin is completely cooked.
As soon as the pumpkin has acquired the necessary softness, add corn and beans. I stir, close the lid of the multicooker and turn it off. I let it simmer for 10-15 minutes and it’s ready to serve.

Bon appetit)
