| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1. | Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Brown chicken breasts on both sides until golden brown. Remove from skillet and set aside. Add turmeric and chopped onions to the skillet, along with most of the chopped walnuts (reserve 2 tbsp for garnish). Cook until onions are translucent and lightly browned. |

| 3. | Return the browned chicken breasts to the pot, ensuring they are submerged in the broth. Cover the pot and allow the chicken to simmer gently for 45 minutes, or until cooked through and tender. |
| 4. | Meanwhile, prepare the pomegranates by cutting them into quarters and removing the seeds. |
| 5. | After the chicken has simmered for 45 minutes, add the pomegranate seeds, fresh lemon juice, and sugar to the pot. Cover once more and continue to cook for an additional 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. |
| 6. | Season the chicken with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot alongside rice, garnished with the reserved chopped walnuts for an added crunch and visual appeal. Enjoy the delightful flavors of this chicken with pomegranate sauce, perfect for a cozy winter evening or a quick weeknight meal! πππ |
