Instructions
1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the pumpkin into small cubes, toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and spread them on a baking sheet.

2

Roast the pumpkin in the oven for 25-30 minutes until tender and caramelized. While the pumpkin is roasting, season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of smoked paprika.

3

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Sear the chicken breasts for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.

4

Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and fresh sage leaves, sautéing for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

5

Pour in heavy cream and bring to a simmer, stirring until the sauce thickens slightly. Add the roasted pumpkin to the sauce and mix well.

6

Slice the chicken and serve it topped with the pumpkin sage cream, garnished with additional sage leaves if desired.
