Although roasted chicken with pumpkin sounds like a better fall recipe, i think potatoes are the best vegetables to pair with chicken.

Easy, cheap, tasty pasta recipe.
Recipe Summary Sweet Chili Lime Chicken With Cilantro Couscous
A very flavorful Asian-type meal with a sweet heat that incorporates my favorite flavors (chili, lime, and cilantro) with a little bit of sugar. The sauce glazes the chicken and is wonderful over the cilantro couscous. You can substitute salt and pepper to taste for MSG.Ingredients | Pasta And Chicken Recipes With Tomato Sauce
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cubed
1 pinch monosodium glutamate (such as Ac'centĀ®), or to taste
6 tablespoons soy sauce
6 tablespoons brown sugar
Ā½ teaspoon red pepper flakes, or more to taste
1 lime, juiced and zested
2 cups vegetable broth
1 cup couscous
ā cup chopped cilantro
4 wedges lime for garnish
Directions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir chicken breast cubes in the hot oil until the juices run clear and chicken is no longer pink inside, 5 to 6 minutes. Sprinkle chicken with monosodium glutamate as it cooks. Remove chicken from skillet.
Mix soy sauce, brown sugar, red pepper flakes, lime juice, and lime zest in a bowl, stirring to dissolve sugar. Pour sauce into hot skillet, bring to a boil, and reduce heat to low. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until sauce begins to reduce slightly, 3 to 4 minutes. Mix cooked chicken into sauce and cook until sauce forms a glaze on chicken pieces, about 2 to 3 more minutes, stirring often.
Bring vegetable broth to a boil in a saucepan. Stir couscous into vegetable broth, turn off the heat, and let couscous stand until broth is absorbed, about 5 minutes. Stir cilantro into couscous.
Arrange couscous onto a serving platter, top with chicken and sauce, and serve with lime wedges. Squeeze lime wedges over couscous and chicken before serving.
