Chicken in Pumpkin Sauce image

Created this little gem of a dish on a day off from work. Turned out fabulously! Super simple recipe and takes no time to make if using pre-cooked chicken (can also be made with leftover turkey).

Time 1h15m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 lbs cooked chicken or 2 lbs cooked turkey, cooled and torn into bite sized pieces
1 (540 ml) can pumpkin (not pie filling, just regular pumpkin)
1 cup apple juice
1/2 cup applesauce
1 -2 teaspoon minced garlic (according to tastes)
1 -2 teaspoon coarse salt (according to taste)

Steps:

  • Start on a medium temperature.
  • In a large pot (I have an electric deep sided frying pan), add the applesauce, garlic and pumpkin together.
  • Add just enough apple juice to loosen the sauce to coat the back of a spoon lightly.
  • Season with salt.
  • Heat thoroughly, adjusting seasoning according to taste.
  • Add meat and simmer on low until heated all the way through.
  • Serve with your choice of potato, noodle or rice, vegetable and of course some nice multi-grain bread to wipe up all that yummy sauce!
