Fall is here! Try this warm Creamy Pumpkin Parmesan Chicken

Ingredients:

  • 4 boneless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 1 cup sliced baby bella mushrooms
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • ½ cup 100% pure pumpkin purée
  • ¾ cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • 1–2 handfuls fresh spinach
  • ½ tsp dried sage
  • ½ tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt & black pepper to taste
  • Red pepper flakes, optional

Instructions:

  • Get that chicken golden.
    Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Melt the butter in a large skillet and cook the chicken until beautifully golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  • Bring on the mushrooms.
    Add the baby bellas to the same skillet and cook until browned. Add the fresh garlic and cook just until fragrant.
  • Make it creamy.
    Stir in the pumpkin and chicken broth, then add the heavy cream, Parmesan, sage, and a pinch of red pepper flakes if you like a little heat.
  • Add the greens.
    Let the sauce gently simmer until creamy and slightly thickened. Stir in the spinach and let it wilt right into the sauce.
  • Bring it all together.
    Return the chicken to the skillet, spoon that creamy pumpkin-Parmesan goodness over the top, and let everything simmer together for another couple of minutes.
  • Make It a Meal. 
    Pair it with roasted green beans, broccoli, cauliflower, or another Simply Weight Loss-friendly vegetable for an easy, cozy fall dinner.
