First of all a big shout out to my mother-in-law that gave me this recipe she is always finding me new things and bringing them to me to try out. THIS RECIPE TAKES A FULL 2 HOURS TO MAKE. IT IS NOT INVOLVED BUT IT IS NOT GOOD IF IT IS RUSHED.
6 chicken breasts
1/2 teas turmeric
1 medium onion, sliced
1 1/4 C. walnuts, ground in food processor
2 3/4 C. Chicken broth
1 pomegranate seeded (good price for one is under $2)
1/4 fresh lemon juice
1/4 C. sugar
You want to use a deep skillet for this. You only need one pan for the whole thing. Salt and pepper chicken and brown well in a little bit of oil. Remove chicken and set aside.
Cook onions in skillet until brown and soft (15-20 min). Add turmeric and walnuts and cook a couple more minutes. Then add broth. Bring to a boil then simmer 15 minutes.
Add chicken, COVER, simmer 45 minutes (If you have not seeded the pomegranate do so now. ADD lemon juice, sugar and 1/3 of your pomegranate seeds simmer 30 more minutes.
Now mix up 1/3 C. flour and 1/2 cup water. Pour this into a spot in the pan where you can stir it in good then mix it around. This thickens the sauce up real good. Sprinkle the seeds over the chicken and some parsley to make it pretty.

Kamille,
I made this for my family and it was so wonderful. I even sent some home for my mom and her family to try to. I must admit, I didn't have any of the "special rice" on hand so I made a rice pilaf and it was still good served over this non-special rice. Thanks for the recipe!!
This was such a fun recipe. I wonder if I can still find a pomegranate anywhere. I think it's on my menu plan for Sunday dinner. Thanks Kamille. It was 2 months ago, but I felt pampered that night. It was just what I needed. The sandwich cookies were delicious, too!
