- 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
- ⅓ cup silan
- 2 tablespoons pomegranate molasses
- Zest from 1 lemon
- 2 cups boiling water
- 2-3 sprigs of thyme
- Chopped chives
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.
