Cooking Tips

• If you can't find pomegranate molasses, you can make your own by reducing pomegranate juice with a bit of sugar and lemon juice.
• Sumac can be found in Middle Eastern or specialty stores. It adds a tangy and citrusy flavor to the dish.
• For extra flavor, you can sprinkle some sumac on top of the cooked chicken before serving.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover Pomegranate Sumac Chicken can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To reheat, place the chicken in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes, or until heated through.
• Serve the reheated chicken with fresh herbs and a squeeze of lemon juice to refresh the flavors.
