Description
This chicken in sesame and pumpkin sauce is a rich and flavorful dish, perfect for autumn evenings. The combination of toasted sesame seeds, pumpkin and a touch of chili creates an explosion of flavors that will win everyone over. I often prepare it when I have guests for dinner and want to offer something special and different from the usual. The sauce is velvety and enveloping, ideal to accompany the tender and juicy chicken. A dish that warms the heart and delights the palate, easy to prepare with our trusted Thermomix®!

Preparation of chicken broth with onions
Pour the chicken broth into the bowl. Add 180g of chopped onions. Set 15 Min./100°C/Stufe 1.
Partial cooking of the chicken
Add the pieces of chicken breast in the bowl with the broth and onions. Set 8 Min./100°C/Stufe 1/Linkslauf.
Cooling the chicken in the broth
Remove the bowl from the Thermomix® and let the chicken cool in the broth. This step is crucial to keep the meat tender and juicy.

Put the pepitas (pumpkin seeds), peanuts, sesame seeds, mixed spices, ground cloves and black pepper in the bowl. Chop for 30 Sek./Stufe 8.
Transfer of the mixture into a bowl
Transfer the mixture of seeds and spices into a bowl and set aside. This will be the base of our sauce.

Put the cherry tomatoes, 180g of coarsely chopped onions and the clove of garlic in the bowl. Chop for 10 Sek./Stufe 5.
Addition of chili peppers, coriander and parsley
Add the chili peppers, coriander and parsley in the bowl. Chop intermittently for 5 Sek./Stufe 4, until a well blended but not completely chopped mixture is obtained.
Cooking the mixture with the pepitas
Add the pork lard in the bowl and set 3 Min./120°C/Stufe 1. Add the mixture with the pepitas and cook for 4 Min./120°C/Stufe 1.
Addition of the broth and the preparation with the cherry tomatoes
Add 600ml of cooled chicken broth and the preparation with the cherry tomatoes in the bowl. Set 15 Min./100°C/Stufe 2.
