Chicken, Pumpkin & Pine Nut Pasta

Firstly, this I actually made up tonight on the spot, I'm delighted with how it turned out. So measurements will be rough, also I used a chicken seasoning I got from Coles - Kentucky Style Seasoning.


Pumpkin - diced (approx 1 cup)
Pasta
Pine nuts - toasted


Chicken:
350g Chicken Tenderloins - diced
Kentucky Style Seasoning (approx 1/2-1 tsp)
1/2 tsp paprika
1 tbsp flour
1 tbsp oil


Sauce:
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp flour
1/2 tsp garlic granules
black pepper to taste
1 1/2 cups Milk


Method


1. Preheat oven to 180 (fan forced), cook pumpkin until tender and cooked through.
2. Mix chicken & seasonings in a bowl - set aside for 10-15 minutes to marinate.
3. Meanwhile - boil water to cook pasta.
4. Sauce: Melt butter in small sauce pan, add flour, whisk and cook until mixture bubbles, gradually add milk and whisk until smooth, add garlic and pepper and simmer over very low heat until thickened. Stir through pasta.
5. Toast pine nuts in fry pan and set aside.
6. Pan fry chicken until golden and crisp.
7. Serve chicken, pumpkin and pine nuts over pasta.
