Method

  1. Heat a splash of oil in a large skillet over medium‑high heat.
  2. Add the chicken cubes, season with half the salt and pepper, and sauté 5‑6 minutes until lightly golden.
  3. Toss in the pumpkin dice, sprinkle the remaining salt and pepper, and stir‑fry another 8‑10 minutes until the pumpkin is tender and the chicken is cooked through (internal 75 °C).
  4. Reduce heat to low, scatter the crumbled feta over the top and let it soften for 2 minutes.
  5. Give everything a gentle toss, taste and adjust seasoning, then serve hot.

Pat the chicken dry before it hits the pan – dry meat sears better and stays juicy!
