Step 1
Pat chicken breasts dry. Season all over with salt and pepper.
Step 2
Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Sear chicken 5 minutes per side without moving until golden. Transfer to a plate.
Step 3
Add diced onion to the same skillet with a pinch of salt. Cook 2 minutes until softened, scraping up browned bits.
Step 4
Stir in pomegranate molasses, walnuts, and stock. Return chicken to the skillet, nestling it into the sauce.
Step 5
Simmer 6 minutes until chicken is cooked through and sauce darkens slightly. Stir in pomegranate seeds.
Step 6
Taste and season with salt and pepper. Serve over rice or with flatbread.
