Stewed pumpkin with chicken fillet and cream cheese is a wonderful autumn dish that combines the tender taste of chicken, the sweet softness of pumpkin, and the creamy texture of cheese. It is not only delicious but also nutritious. This recipe is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner, as it takes no more than 40 minutes to prepare. Using favorite spicy seasonings adds extra aroma to the dish and makes it even more appetizing.The key to successful cooking is the right texture of the pumpkin and chicken. The pumpkin should remain tender but not overcooked, and the chicken should be juicy. By using cream cheese, we added thickness and richness to the dish, as it became the sauce that harmoniously unites all the ingredients of the dish.
