Description
The other day my mom mentioned that she managed to convince dad on the pumpkin, and it (the pumpkin), though unjustly, but never used in the family popular. I became interested in the mother dictated the recipe, or rather, told what to do. And then there came across an article about the smells and flavors that said that the smell of pumpkin has a strong stimulating property. So I decided to experiment, and Valentine's day is around the corner! It's time to think about a menu for a romantic dinner... Cooked... and was pleased not only me! The husband was so satisfied with the dinner, said that during the next communication session with the mother will Express her "a thousand thanks" for the recipe! Hence the name. But as for a romantic dinner, I strongly recommend to cook this dish for the following reasons: - delicious, and a pumpkin with its properties... is a "two in one" - and the tender meat of chicken, and a side dish - quick and easy to prepare, does not require extensive training - almost no dirty dishes, but it is also important!

Cooking
I expected to make 4 servings. Chicken breast consists of 2 parts, you can make two servings, but I thought of a romantic dinner, so we decided what to eat is not necessary, and split each part in half, you get 4 slices, that is 4 servings. According to my calculations, just two servings had to stay the next day. Chicken needs to be marinated, rubbed with a mixture of salt, pepper, seasoning for chicken and juice of half a lemon. Leave to marinate while you prepare the vegetables.
Meanwhile, it is necessary to clean the vegetables. The potatoes and pumpkin cut into large cubes. Not melchite, the potatoes will be nothing but a pumpkin can turn into a gruel, so the pieces make great, not less than 2.5 cm. to Sprinkle vegetables with salt and pepper, add dried Basil and olive oil, mix well.
Prepare 4 pieces of foil (I always do a double layer). Fold the edge to collapse the envelope. In each piece of foil, place potatoes and pumpkin in each envelope cut 1 clove of garlic, it is better to cut plates.
Put a piece of chicken.
Well wrap the foil edges to make envelopes. Send in a well-heated oven for about 40-45 minutes. Don't worry, the chicken will not dry, it is cooked on a bed of vegetables, which does not allow it to dry.
A few minutes before end of cooking, remove the pan from the oven, slightly open the envelopes and on each piece of chicken, place a thin slice of cheese. Put in the oven for a few minutes to brown the cheese.
Serve immediately, directly and in envelopes, foil, dishes will remain clean ;-) And now summary: pumpkin can be exciting, but in our case a romantic dinner ended obyazalovka, and then it was no romance! :-D So just practical advice: if you still expect that dinner will be continued outside the kitchen, grab the potatoes in half. And be sure to hide the remaining two envelope so Your other half didn't even know of their existence. Better to let it be a pleasant surprise and a hearty Breakfast the next day than the way it was with us. It was the following: on the couch lay two gingerbread man bellies up and stupidly watched TV. To do anything else no longer wanted, or rather, couldn't! :-D :-D :-D enjoy!
