What it is
Chicken pieces (often thighs or breasts) cooked in a rich, savory, and slightly tangy sauce made with crushed walnuts and pomegranate molasses. For keto modification, a minimal amount of sugar-free pomegranate molasses or a very reduced portion of traditional molasses is used to impart flavor without excess carbs. The dish has a deep, complex flavor profile.
Key ingredients
Chicken pieces, walnuts, pomegranate molasses (keto-friendly or minimal), onion, garlic, olive oil, salt, pepper, cilantro.
If you order it anyway
Crucially, ask for minimal to no traditional pomegranate molasses due to high sugar content; inquire about sugar-free alternatives or a very small drizzle for flavor. Ensure no flour is used as a thickener and no carb-heavy sides.
Watch out for
Pomegranate molasses is very high in sugar. Often served with rice.
