Chicken with potatoes and pumpkin baked in the oven
Description
If you want to prepare a meat dish and a side dish at the same time, try baking chicken with vegetables in the oven. I suggest using traditional everyday vegetables and adding a vibrant, healthy autumn ingredient—pumpkin. It will give the dish a unique flavor, making it not only hearty and nutritious, but also delicious, aromatic, and worthy of a festive table. This simple dish won't take much of your time, and all the ingredients are easily available to any home cook.
