Chili-lime chiken with ginger-garlic seasoned pumpkin





Its easy and quick to make, but special and filling.The lime sets off the sweetness of the pumpkin perfeclty, and garlic and ginger is a wonderful match anyways.

Ingredients for the chiken
  • chicken breast
  • ginger
  • juice of one lime
  • salt, pepper
  • chili powder
Ingredients for the pumpkin
  • half of a pumpkin
  • fresh ginger
  • fresh garlic
  • salt, pepper
  • aluminium foil for the bundle
Cut the pumpkin in half and scrape the seeds out. Peel it and cut it into equal pieces. The amount of the garlic and the ginger depends on how strong you want it to taste in the end. Chop them fine and mix them with the pumpkin. Add salt and freshly ground pepper, and steam it in an aluminium foil bundle at 200 deg.
Meanwhile cut the chicken breast into pieces, and start cooking it in a bit of oil. Add salt and pepper, and when it becomes white add the chili powder and right after the lime juice. Cover it and let it cook for 5-10 minutes. Then remove the cover and let the sauce densify a little. The chicken is ready, all you have to do is wait for the pumpkin to soften and then you can eat.
