Steps:
- Bake the pumpkin pieces in a 180C oven for 15 minutes and put aside.
- Cook the chicken breasts (barbecue, grill, fry pan, poach, oven) until just cooked through and put aside. After chicken has cooled a little, cut into 1 - 2 cm cubes depending on preference. (Alternatively, you can cut into cubes first and then stir-fry).
- While doing steps 1 and 2, put the oil in a large saucepan on medium/hot and when heated, put the onions and garlic in and cook until onions begin to get soft - about 5 minutes.
- Add the rice and stir until the grains start to swell and burst then reduce heat to low and add the cup of white wine.
- Stir over low heat until the liquid has been absorbed.
- Add, say, half a cup of the hot stock and keep stirring while the rice absorbs it.
- Keep adding stock in this way, stirring constantly.
- Just as the final liquid is being absorbed and rice is cooked (about 20 - 25 minutes), add the cooked cubed chicken and pumpkin and gently stir.
- Remove from heat, stir in grated parmesan cheese, (add freshly ground black pepper if you like) and serve.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use smoked chicken that has been smoked over a hardwood fire.
- If you don't have any smoked chicken, you can use roasted or grilled chicken instead.
- Be sure to use a good quality chicken broth for the risotto. It will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish.
- Don't overcook the risotto. It should be cooked through, but still have a slight al dente bite to it.
- Serve the risotto immediately, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh herbs.
