Ingredients
- 500 g Chicken thighs (boneless, skinless)
- 400 g Pumpkin (peeled and diced)
- 250 g Sweetcorn (frozen or fresh)
- 1 medium Yellow onion (finely chopped)
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 750 ml Chicken stock
- 200 ml Coconut milk
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Ground cumin
- 1 tsp Smoked paprika
- 1 tsp Dried thyme
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Fresh cilantro (chopped, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Step 2
Season the chicken thighs with salt and black pepper, then add them to the pot. Sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set aside.
Step 3
In the same pot, add the chopped onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic, ground cumin, smoked paprika, and dried thyme, and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Step 4
Return the chicken to the pot and add the diced pumpkin. Pour in the chicken stock and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Step 5
Cover the pot with a lid and cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pumpkin starts to soften and the chicken is cooked through.
Step 6
Stir in the sweetcorn and coconut milk. Cook uncovered for an additional 10 minutes to thicken the stew and allow the flavors to meld.
Step 7
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
Step 8
Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro. Pair with crusty bread, rice, or enjoy it as is!
