The chicken fillets are breaded with durum wheat semolina, which gives the chicken a slight crunch. Serve them with a vegetable side dish, a creamy mashed potatoes, or even just plain white rice.

In a large pan, heat 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil over medium heat. Add the pumpkin cubes, salt them, and cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and golden. If necessary, add a bit of water to prevent sticking.
In the meantime, lightly flour the chicken breast slices in durum wheat semolina, shaking off the excess.
Move the cooked pumpkin to the sides of the pan and add 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil.
Place the chicken scallops in the pan and cook them with the pumpkin over medium-high heat for about 3-4 minutes per side, until they are well browned and properly cooked. Adjust with salt and, if desired, pepper.
Our pumpkin chicken scallops are ready to be enjoyed hot, accompanied by a vegetable side dish or mashed potatoes.
