Laced with tangy-sweet pomegranate molasses and fragrant spices, this healthy and delicious Persian stew is traditionally prepared for festive occasions. Here we make it with chicken for a quick and easy dinner but it can also be made with lamb stew meat for special occasions. Serve with brown rice to sop up any extra sauce.
1 ½ cups walnut halves, toasted

¼ cup water
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon saffron
⅛ teaspoon ground cardamom
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
