Cinnamon Roasted Chicken with Pumpkin-Sage Grits
By Shannon O'DonnellI've had this recipe that I'd torn from a magazine sitting in my 'must try' pile for quite some time, and I finally got around to giving it a whirl this week. It is a decidedly 'autumn appropriate' meal, so I wanted to make it before fall got away from me. It definitely did not disappoint! The pumpkin grits were so easy, and the cinnamon chicken was a wonderful combo of sweet and savory. Less than 30 minutes to prepare from start to finish, it made for a wonderful November comfort meal, even on a busy weeknight. Cinnamon Roasted Chicken with Pumpkin-Sage Grits
Ingredients
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Arrange chicken breast halves in 13x9x2-inch baking pan. Drizzle chicken with oil and sprinkle with 1 tsp. of the salt, the cinnamon, and black pepper. Rub the spices over all sides of the chicken. Roast in preheated oven 18 to 20 minutes or until no longer pink and juices run clear. 2. Meanwhile, in medium saucepan bring water to boiling. Stir in grits until combined. Stir in pumpkin, sage, and 1/2 tsp. salt. Return to boiling; reduce heat. Cook, uncovered, for 5 to 7 minutes or until thickened, stirring frequently. Remove from heat; stir in cheese. 3. To serve, spoon grits onto dinner plates and top with chicken breast halves. Add sage leaves. Makes 4 servings.
