Method

5 steps · 30 min

01
Brown the Chicken
In a heavy skillet, melt the 1/4 cup butter over medium-high heat. Add the 1 pound chicken breast and brown it on all sides until it's lightly golden. Transfer the chicken to a plate for now.
02
Sauté Onions and Cinnamon
Return the skillet to the heat. Add the 2 chopped onions and sauté them until they're soft and translucent, starting to turn golden at the edges.
Stir in the 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and cook, stirring constantly, for another 1 minute. You'll notice the spices becoming fragrant.
03
Toast Walnuts
Add the 2 cups walnuts to the skillet with the onions and cook, stirring, for about 1 minute, just until they start to smell toasted.
04
Build the Sauce
Pour in the 1 1/2 cups chicken stock, 2/3 cup pomegranate juice, 1/2 cup tomato sauce, 1 tablespoon molasses, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, and 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 3 minutes.
05
Simmer the Stew
Return the browned chicken and any accumulated juices from the plate to the skillet. Cover the skillet and let the stew simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
