Ingredients
1 ½cupswalnut halves, toasted
6large skinless, bone-in chicken thighs (2 1/2-3 pounds)
¾teaspoonsalt, divided
¼teaspoonground pepper
1tablespoonextra-virgin olive oil
1largeonion, sliced
¼cupwater
¼teaspoonground cinnamon
¼teaspoonsaffron
⅛teaspoonground cardamom
1cuplow-sodium chicken broth
⅓cuppomegranate molasses (see Tips)
2tablespoonshoney
1tablespoonlemon juice
¼cupPomegranate seeds & chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Directions
Pulse walnuts in a food processor until coarsely ground.
Sprinkle chicken with 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove to a plate.
Reduce heat to medium. Add onion and water to the pot; cook, stirring and scraping up any browned bits, until the onion is lightly brown and soft, about 5 minutes. Add cinnamon, saffron and cardamom and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add the walnuts, broth, pomegranate molasses and honey. Bring to a boil.
Return the chicken to the pot and turn to coat with sauce. Reduce the heat to maintain a simmer. Partially cover and cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a thigh without touching bone registers 165 degrees F, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the chicken to a clean plate; keep warm.
Tips
Tips: Pomegranate molasses is a syrup made from pomegranate juice. Look for it with other Middle Eastern ingredients at well-stocked supermarkets and online.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)
- Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
