Chicken with Pumpkin in Balsamic Glaze
Provides complete protein from chicken and beta-carotene from pumpkin, so the dish is more nutrient-dense than plain roasted poultry alone. The flavor turns sweet-savory and deep: the pumpkin caramelizes at the edges while the balsamic glaze makes the chicken more vivid and juicy.
Preheat the oven to 180 °C with top and bottom heat. Pat the chicken pieces dry, season them all over with salt and black pepper, and place them on a baking tray. Cut the pumpkin in half, remove the seeds, and slice it thinly, about 5 mm thick, without peeling it. Arrange the slices around the chicken, season lightly with salt, and tuck the halved cherry tomatoes between them.
For the glaze, mix the balsamic vinegar with allulose until dissolved, then stir in the olive oil. Brush the glaze generously over both the chicken and the pumpkin. Scatter the sage leaves over the tray.
The original recipe uses honey in the glaze. Here it is replaced with allulose so the flavor stays gently sweet while fitting a lower-carb approach more comfortably.
Roast for 40-50 minutes until the chicken is deeply golden and reaches 70 °C in the thickest part. The pumpkin should be tender but still keep its shape. Serve right away with the tray juices spooned over the meat.
