How much do I love pumpkin?? A LOT! I could eat pumpkin everyday and pretty much do during the fall. I love pumpkin so much I’ve dedicated a Pinterest board to my favorite Grilled Pumpkin Salad with Autumn Vegetables you MUST try.
While I was prepping my weekly meal plan using Cooking Planit I stumbled across Roasted Chicken with Pumpkin Spice Marinade. Yes, please!!
I love that it’s so simple – anyone can make this. Why haven’t I thought to use pumpkin as a base for a marinade before? I’ll be making this on Sunday and will let you know how it goes.
- Chicken Breast On The Bone, Large — 4
- Fresh Parsley — 1 Tablespoon
- Fresh Sage — 1 Tablespoon
- Black Pepper
- Kosher Salt
- Garlic — 8 Cloves
- Pumpkin Puree, Canned — 3 Tablespoons
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil — 1?3 Cup
- Apple Cider Vinegar — 2 Tablespoons
- Honey — 2 Tablespoons
- Cloves, Whole — 8
- Cayenne Pepper — 1?4 Teaspoon (omit for kids)
- Ground Ginger — 1?2 Teaspoon
- Nutmeg — 1?4 Teaspoon
- Smoked Paprika — 1 Teaspoon
- Peel and smash garlic cloves.
- Place all the marinade ingredients in a large bowl and mix with a whisk to combine.
- Rinse the chicken breasts with cold water and season them with salt and pepper.
- Place the chicken breasts in the marinade bowl and toss to coat them evenly with the mixture.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Can be left overnight.
- Chop fresh parsley and sage.
- Set your oven to broil.
- Place the marinated chicken breasts in an oven-proof dish, skin side up.
- Roast under the broiler for [7 minutes], then, using tongs, flip the breasts skin side down and roast for 7 more. Decrease the oven heat to 400 °F, flip the breasts again, and roast for 30-40 minutes or until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat reads 165 °F.
- Garnish the pumpkin-spice-roasted chicken with fresh parsley and sage and serve immediately.
