Chicken legs baked with pumpkin

My regular readers must have noticed a long time ago that I'm a big pumpkin fan. There are recipes with pumpkin on the blog: porridge, pancakes, salads, pies and muffins galore. And responsibly I declare to you - in unsweetened version pumpkin is as beautiful as in sweet! Pumpkin is not only a treasure trove of vitamins, but also a great side dish for meat. This recipe came up on the fly, and was just as quickly eaten at dinner. The legs are juicy, the pumpkin is savory and flavorful, in general, everything you need to eat on a cold winter evening. But if you don't love pumpkin, just substitute it for other vegetables: potatoes, parsnips, bell peppers would be great in this dish.
