Originating from the Southwestern United States, chili is a dish traditionally prepared with meat, beans, and tomatoes. This reinvented, seasonal version replaces tomatoes with pumpkin purée for an autumnal twist. The pumpkin provides a natural sweetness and creaminess that harmonize perfectly with the spicy flavor of the black garlic BBQ spices and peppers. Ground chicken offers a welcome lightness, and the variety of vegetables adds depth to this hearty dish. Baking at a low temperature allows the flavors to develop, making this chili a comforting and balanced meal.
