Steps

20 mins

1

Use a food processor to finely grind the walnuts. Set aside.
2

Dilute the pomegranate paste in 2 ½ cups of water or use 4 cups of pomegrante juice if available. Set aside.
3

In a skillet, heat the vegetable oil and fry the onions in it until tender, then add in the chicken breasts and fry until the chicken starts changing colour on all sides.
4

Remove the chicken and onions with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the oil in the skillet.
5

Fry the ground walnuts in the same oil for a few minutes then add in the salt, diluted pomegranate paste, cinnamon and sugar. Stir while cooking until the sauce is creamy.
6

Add in the onion and chicken and mix. Cover and simmer over very low heat for 20 minutes. Stir from time to time to prevent from sticking.
7

When the sauce is thick, check the taste and add in sugar or pomegranate syrup to have a sweet and sour taste. Add water if needed.
8

To serve, place the chicken pieces on a serving platter and pour the sauce over it.
