I'm done with all my pumpkin creation for the blog, so over the next few weeks I'll continue to present all these pumpkin goodies to you (hope you aren't sick of it!). I decided to give you another savory pumpkin recipe to try. I've actually wanted to make a slow cooker pumpkin chicken recipe since last year and I finally got to it! I adore my slow cooker chicken; t never fails to please! I also know it will always get a thumbs up from the rest of the family which is a plus (they can be rather picky). But this was another winner and another favorite!

Now, I wasn't going to just stop at pumpkin chicken. I always have to stretch the idea into the realm of bigger and better creativity. I always want to expand the flavor profile 50 yards...100 yards...touchdown! And how did I make this a touchdown-worthy recipe? Spicy chipotle and pablano! I finally ordered some organic chipotle powder to play around with and picked up a small poblano pepper at the grocery. I really don't have that great of a spice tolerance, but I've been playing around with it more...since it does taste so good! I've learned that when you pair the spicy with something more sweet or creamy, it all mellows out.

The chipotle powder was beautiful and I could have just stood there breathing in the jar. The pablono took a bit more "risky" behavior. I've never roasted my own peppers on an open flame, but with this one poblano, that's what I did. All you have to do is turn on a burner on your gas stove, use some tongs to hold the stem of the pepper, and simply hold it over the flames like you would while roasting marshmallows! However, these "marshmallows" aren't sweet, but spicy! Once you get the black char all over, let the pepper cool on a paper towel. Then just take the paper towel and rub off the char, and chop up as needed! Perfect roasted pepper in a flash! (I will admit, I thought I would start a fire or blow myself up when the pepper started crackling, but I survived!)

The roasting of the pepper doesn't come close to the danger of the salmon on a cedar plank grilling I did the other week. I'll tell you about that first experience in due time! Nobody said the creation of good food was safe though; there's always a slight risk of injury (as I know all too well). At least the slow cooker part comes with zero risk. You don't even have to be in the room as the cooking occurs. You shouldn't be that is...I don't know why you would sit and watch a slow cooker for 6 hours (I think that defeats the purpose!). Anyway, on to the recipe! It's not too spicy, but just right and blends in the pumpkin creaminess perfectly, creating a moist autumn-inspired chicken dinner!

O and did I mention, this one smells super good too πŸ˜‰ Just like that applesauce. The slow cooker has magic aroma powers for sure, there's no doubt! Spicy pumpkin goodness awaits and makes the mouth water! The chipotle is more of a mild background spice, the poblano bits are where the spice happens! But I will always be fond of the savory pumpkin recipes, yet I do have more sweet to come...many more. For now some chicken and spice will suffice! Happy slow-cookering!

So tell me:

+ Have you ever roasted peppers over a flame?

+ What's your favorite pepper? I think shishitos will always be my #1!

    Normally pumpkin flavored anything is the furthest thing from my mind, despite everyone's attempts to tell me how awesome it is. I just don't like it. The reason I don't like it this time of year is because I don't like cinnamon or nutmeg, and they always go hand in hand with pumpkin. This recipe, however, is something I think I need to try! I'm excited to try a recipe that doesn't rely on pumpkin spice to carry it! Yay! It's going on my menu plan next time I'm due to get groceries! Can't wait to try this recipe.

    I love the smoky spiciness of chipotle, and the poblano sounds like it adds an extra kick! I felt the same way when I first roasted a pepper - the sounds were a bit scary, but the results definitely worth it!

    Horray for savory pumpkin dishes!! We don't have gas burners on our stove, but I've always wanted to do this! I've gotta find someone that does, because that just sounds way to fun! Adventure in the kitchen!! I can't wait to hear about your salmon fiasco! Dave would love this, he's not huge on spice either, so I think this would be perfect for him!

    Chipotle was the perfect addition to your pumpkin chicken. Reminds me of an Indian and Mexican fusion. I cannot wait to try it.

    I'm not a huge spicy-food person, but I like the idea of balancing out the spicy flavor with something mellow. You know I love my slow cooker!

      Try this!! If I could handle it (it really wasn't very spicy) anyone can! My mom even loved it and she has ZERO tolerance!

    Pumpkin, chipotle, and poultry were made for each other! I do something similar every year for Thanksgiving with my enchiladas!

Perfect tostones require the unripe green plantains (got mine from @theboysfarmersmarket), they're super cheap (like 20-30Β’), peel, slice, soak them in some water, lime juice, and salt, use your @gowiseusa air fryer to give them the first "fry", then get out your frustrations by smashing them into flat discs with a tostonera or a heavy mug, toss them back in the air fryer to finish getting golden and crispy! Serve with an extra pinch of flaky salt and salsa dips of choice! πŸ‘Œ
