Directions:
Lightly brown chicken with onions and salt over medium heat. Add the pomegranate paste, brown sugar, saffron water, and spices. Cover and simmer for about 1 ½ hours over low heat, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon to prevent nuts from burning. If the sauce is too thick, add warm water to thin it. Taste the sauce and adjust for seasoning and thickness. The stew should be sweet and sour according to your taste. Add pomegranate paste to sour the taste and sugar to sweeten it. Sprinkle with pomegranate seeds before serving if desired.
