How to make paprika chicken stir fry with pumpkin?

Meanwhile, peel the pumpkin, remove the seeds if any, and cut into bite-sized cubes. Steam, microwave or roast with a pinch of salt and pepper until tender inside but still firm.
Heat a little olive oil in a frying pan and add the sliced garlic clove . Let it brown until the aroma is released and remove, or add the chicken directly. Cook, sautéing it over high heat until it begins to take color. Add the pumpkin, stir well and pour in the wine.
