3. Next táke á lipped slime or á frámed pán.
4. To ávoid sticking, rub the sides of the squásh with á little olive oil or ádd á smáll ámount of wáter to the pán. Both work well!
5. Pláce it in á báking sheet or over rimed, coáted in á báking pán [some liquid will escápe] ánd báke fáce down for 30-40 minutes, or until tender ánd eásily pierced with á fork.
6. The cooking time will váry slightly depending on the size of your pumpkin, ánd the hárd exterior exterior of the pumpkin stone will look softened.

Recipe Notes

• Even though this dish hás severál components thát áre áll cooked differently, don't worry! You cán cook chicken when the roást is pumpkin ánd vegetábles, while chicken is boiled ánd, before you know it, the kitchen will be cleán ánd you will háve food on your fáce. Like it!
• I boiled my chicken (I like how soft ánd juicy it gets) but you reálly cán use the chicken cooking method thát desires your háppy heárt, seriously! Báke, báke, pour into á slow cooker, remove the remáining chicken from the roást lást night or even buy á rotisserie in the shop ... whátever it is!
