Savory Baked Pumpkin with Chicken & Mushrooms
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Cut off top of pumpkin, scoop out seeds and a portion of pumpkin flesh (to make room for filling). Set aside pumpkin top.
  2. Rub inside of pumpkin with wine and Chinese five-spice powder. Place pumpkin on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake in pre-heated oven until pumpkin is almost cooked, 30 – 40 minutes.
  3. While pumpkin is baking, combine sauce ingredients in a small bowl; set aside.
  4. Remove pumpkin from oven. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F.
  5. Heat a wok or stir-fry pan over medium-high heat until hot. Add oil, swirling to coat sides. Add chicken; stir fry for 1 minute. Add onion and mushrooms; stir-fry for 2 minutes. Stir in sauce; mix well. Add cornstarch solution; cook, stirring, until slightly thickened.
  6. Spoon stir-fry mixture into pumpkin. Add the top, return pumpkin to 350 degree F. oven. Bake until pumpkin is tender, about 25 minutes.
