    Sweet and Spicy Pumpkin Chicken Stew

    ByThe Wholesome Spoon

    This time of year, a hearty stew with some crispy bread is pretty hard to beat for me. Warming, a little kick, a one pot big batch that’s freezer friendly? That’s a whole love language for me. This Sweet and Spicy Pumpkin Chicken Stew was creamy, sweet from the pumpkin, a little spicy from the jalapeño, and packed with juicy chicken thighs! The chickpeas gave some texture, the bell pepper added crunch, and the spice blend and fresh herbs created so much flavor. This recipe concludes my pumpkin series for this year, and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out! It was easy to make, and my family really loved it. It exuded fall and winter vibes and most definitely had everybody going back for another serving!
