Hay Hay it’s Donna Day is back after a short but sweet summer break. The past couple weeks I have been tweeting and asking, what do you want to make this time. Sweet? Savory? Everyone came back with savory. So, savory it is. I picked an easy and delicious spicy chicken recipe that comes together quickly. It is Spicy chicken, pumpkin and roasted garlic rice recipe that is loaded with flavor and easy to use ingredients. This recipe comes together quickly when made with leftover, precooked rice or you can change it up with quinoa or even couscous.
Vegetarians, we want to see your take on this recipe for Spicy chicken, pumpkin and roasted garlic rice. What are you going to add that make it protein as well as veggie friendly. Maybe a little tofu or chickpeas to add some protein. Or make it heartier by adding more of the pumpkin? Don’t have pumpkin available in your part of the world, use could use butternut squash or kabocha?
