Savory Goulash Featuring Chicken and Pumpkin

Ingredients 0/14

Step 1

Set your slow cooker to High. Pour in the diced tomatoes and brown sugar, giving them a good stir to combine. Meanwhile, heat some olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until it’s nicely browned—about 10 minutes. Toss in the ginger, cinnamon, cumin, and coriander, and cook for another couple of minutes until the spices smell amazing. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook, stirring, until it’s no longer pink. Then stir in the garbanzo beans and let everything simmer for a bit.

Step 2

Transfer this mixture into the slow cooker with the tomatoes and stir it all together. Using the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and cook the pumpkin pieces until they’re warmed through and starting to brown a little, about 10 minutes, stirring often. Add the pumpkin to the slow cooker and cover it up.

Step 3

Let everything cook on High for one hour, then turn the slow cooker down to Low. Continue cooking for another 3 to 4 hours, until the pumpkin is tender. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed. If the stew feels too watery, mix a little cornstarch with water to make a smooth slurry, stir it into the stew, and let it cook for about 30 minutes more until it thickens up nicely.
