Ingredients

  • Olive oil
  • 1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs cut into halves or quarters
  • 1 red onion cut into large cubes
  • 1 white onion cut into large cubes
  • 3 sliced/chopped garlic cloves
  • 8 ounces button mushrooms quartered
  • 8 ounces portobello mushrooms cut into large cubes
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 tablespoon sweet paprika
  • cup silan
  • 2 tablespoons pomegranate molasses
  • Zest from 1 lemon
  • 2 cups boiling water
  • 2-3 sprigs of thyme
  • Chopped chives

Instructions

  • In a deep pan with a little olive oil, fry the chicken pieces for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden. They don't have to be cooked through.
  • Remove from pan and set aside. Add another drop of oil and fry the onions for 3-4 minutes. Add garlic and continue to fry another minutes.
  • Add mushrooms and fry for another 2-3 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, paprika, silan and pomegranate molasses, mix well, and let them soften and absorb the flavors for another 4-5 minutes.
  • Make room and place the browned chicken pieces in the pan.
  • Add lemon zest, water and thyme sprigs, cover and reduce to medium low heat and cook for 25-30 minutes.
  • Remove cover, sprinkle chopped chives (or green onions) on top and serve over mashed potatoes or white rice.
