Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.

Add the broth, wine, thyme, salt, and saffron; mix well. Add the chicken, spooning the sauce over the pieces.
Cover and simmer over low heat until the chicken is tender, about 30 minutes, turning occasionally. Transfer the chicken to a warm serving platter.
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the sour cream until well blended. Pour over the chicken and sprinkle with parsley.
