Pomegranate Chicken
#CookpadTurns4
Pomegranate is a sweet, tart fruit with thick, red skin. It is considered as super food due to its excellent health benifits. Pomegranate is a best source of anti oxident also. It's one of my favourite fruit.I like to include this super fruit to my various recipes.
Here I am sharing a delicious and healthy chicken recipe that I made with pomegranate juice. For an extra zing I also added sumac powder, which is a powder form of dry berries popular in Middle East and Mediterranean cuisine.

Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Cut skinless and boneless chicken into 1" broad strips.
* Step 2
Place the chicken pieces to a mixing bowl and add in 1 teaspoon sumac powder, 1 teaspoon kashmiri red chilli powder, 1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste and salt.
* Step 3
Mix well with your hand, cover and set aside for an hour to marinate.
* Step 4
Take fresh pomegranate arils and blend them to make juice. I added a small piece of beetroot to enhance the colour of juice.
* Step 5
Transfer to a sieve to separate seeds from the pomegranate juice. Set aside the extracted juice.
* Step 6
After an hour of marination, take out the chicken pieces. Heat a skillet with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and add in the chicken pieces.
* Step 7
Cook in high heat for 5-6 minutes to make the pieces light brown.
* Step 8
Add in half of the pomogranate juice to the chicken.
* Step 9
Stir well, cover and cook in medium heat for another 5 minutes.
* Step 10
After 5 minutes, remove the lid, stir and add in 1 teaspoon of honey. Mix well. Add in salt if necessary.
* Step 11
Now mix 1 tablespoon of cornflour to remaining pomogranate juice.
* Step 12
Add in to the chicken, give a last stir.
* Step 13
Sprinkle some chopped coriander leaves and remove from heat.
* Step 14
Delicious, healthy stir fried pomegranate chicken is ready now. It's little sweet with some tartness from pomegranate and sumac.
* Step 15
I served this special chicken dish with some saffron flavoured jewel rice.
