Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 2 links andouille sausage
• 2 cups pumpkin (peeled and diced)
• 1 medium yellow onion (diced)
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 2 tablespoons parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375–400°F).

Step 2

Brush the chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then season evenly with salt, pepper, and paprika.

Step 3

Grill the chicken for 6–8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove from heat and let rest.

Step 4

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the andouille sausage links for 4–5 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and slice into small rounds.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter. Sauté the diced pumpkin for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender and slightly caramelized.

Step 6

Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for an additional 3–4 minutes until the onion is soft and translucent.

Step 7

Stir in the apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg. Let the mixture simmer for 2–3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 8

Add the sliced andouille sausage back into the skillet with the pumpkin relish. Mix well and cook for 2 more minutes to warm everything through.

Step 9

Plate the grilled chicken breasts and generously spoon the andouille pumpkin relish over each piece.

Step 10

Garnish with chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy!
