By that time, the onions will have become soft and translucent as well.3. Arrange chicken breasts in the pan in a single layer, side down.4. Drizzle the pomegranate molasses and sprinkle salt allover the chicken.5. Add 1 cup of water to the pan and bring to a gentle boil; cover, lower heat slightly and let the stew simmer gently for 20 minutes.6. Flip the chicken pieces and scrape the walnut sauce off the bottom of the pan to prevent scorching; continue to simmer gently for another 20 minutes.7.
