- 2 medium zucchini, cut into ½-inch half-moons
- ½ cup pumpkin purée

Heat the olive oil in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the chicken thighs skin-side down and sear undisturbed for 6–7 minutes, until the skin is deep golden and releases easily from the pan. Flip and sear the second side for 3 minutes, then transfer the chicken to a plate. The chicken will not be cooked through at this stage.
