Braised Chicken With Pumpkin And Walnuts

Jesus spent over three years with His twelve disciples. He called them to be discipled at the outset of His ministry (Matt. 4:19), and He gave them the lion’s share of His life until His departure in Matthew 28. He invested His life in His men. It is amazing to track in the Gospels how much Jesus gave of Himself to His disciples. The crowds pursued Him, but He pursued His disciples. He was willing to bless the masses, but He invested in the few.

INSTRUCTIONS

Season the chicken parts with a generous sprinkling of salt and
pepper. Heat the olive oil together with the butter in a saute pan
with straight sides (sauteuse) over medium heat. Add the chicken,
without crowding, skin side down and cook slowly to brown the chicken
to a golden brown color. Turn the chicken pieces to brown the other
side, add the onions, carrots, and pumpkin to caramelize with the
chicken. Allow the chicken and vegetables to cook slowly together for
5 to 7 minutes. Add the hot stock and simmer slowly over low heat for
30 to 35 minutes, slightly uncovered. Transfer the chicken carefully
to a serving platter, add the walnuts and sage leaves and cook for 2
minutes. Spoon the vegetables around the chicken and pour the excess
sauce over the chicken. Sprinkle on more sage and walnuts as a
garnish, and serve. This recipe yields 4 servings.  Recipe Source:
