  • 1 boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into small cubes
  • 1 pomegranate
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 13 cup onion, diced
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon butter
  • 13 cup white rice

Method

  • Make several long cuts through the husk of a Pomegranate, hold it under water in a large bowl, and break it apart.
  • Skim off the parts that float, then drain in a colander.
  • Put the red pomegranate seeds in a food blender and grind on high for a minute.
  • Strain the liquid through a sieve into a measuring cup.
  • Add the lime juice and enough additional water to make a total of 2/3 cup liquid.
  • Put the olive oil into a frying pan, add the butter and once melted, add the onion.
  • Stir the onion until the flesh is nearly clear, then add the chicken and continue to stir until the meat starts to look white.
  • Add the rice, stir until all the grains are covered in the oil/butter and then add the liquid.
  • Turn the heat down to the lowest setting, cover with a tight fitting lid and cook for 15 minutes.
  • At the end of the 15 minutes, turn off the heat.
  • DO NOT REMOVE THE LID, and let it sit for another 15 minutes.
