1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place chicken and onions in skillet, and cook 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
2. Mix in pureed walnuts, salt, pomegranate juice, and cardamom. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally. (If the sauce becomes too thick, stir in 1/4 cup warm water.)

This goes wonderfully over basmati rice. Don't be daunted by the cooking time. It is very simple set of ingredients. Just stick it on the stove or your slow cooker and run your errands. you will come home to mouthwatering deliciousness. I only use chicken breast but your favorite part is fine.
