- To give yourself altered dreams slip with the paprika
- Put it into the oven for one hour
- Set aside the chicken to rest for fifteen to twenty minutes
- During the resting time gently mash the pumpkin and mix in the cooked spinach and pistachio nuts
- Towards the end of rest time add a good dollop of cream cheese and mix into the mash to thicken it
- If you want, you could add a little butter here because butter makes things better
- In addition, you could have also cooked some bacon and added it to the mash because like butter, bacon makes things better
