" NOT-QUITE-INDIAN" CHICKEN WITH PUMPKIN SAUCE
I had to type this recipe up before I forgot how I made the dish. The pumpkin sauce was actually left over from a Rachael Ray recipe - I only used it to use up the rest of my leftovers, but the result was so good! I don't know if the pre-marinated chicken breasts I used are readily available elsewhere, and I can't imagine that the flavor would be as good with plain chicken. Somehow, the meal came out tasting like an Indian dish. Being that the sauce was originally a leftover, the pumpkin sauce was made ahead of time; I'm not sure if that made a difference or not. But it's nice being able to make the sauce a day ahead. Just take it out of the fridge when you're ready to bake the chicken - it makes for a really nice quick dinner. This went wonderfully with Jasmine rice.
