Pomegranate Chicken Casserole
This simple chicken casserole with pomegranate molasses is one of my experiments that turned out to be one of our favorite meals!
Pomegranate Chicken Casserole is a perfect combination of chicken, mushrooms, pomegranate paste, mayo, garlic and onion. It can be enjoyed on its own as a hearty meal, or it can be served with rice, steamed vegetables, salad, or crusty bread on the side.
Yield: Serves 4
- 750 g boneless and skinless chicken breast, cut into 2-inch pieces
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 10 mushrooms, sliced
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 6 tablespoons pomegranate molasses
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- salt & pepper to taste
In a large bowl, mix chicken with onion, garlic, salt and pepper. Leave in the fridge to marinate for 6 hours.
Then add pomegranate molasses and mayonnaise. Mix well and put in the fridge to marinate for 2 more hours.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Pour the melted butter to an 11 x 8 inch baking dish. Transfer the chicken and its marinade to the baking dish. Add mushrooms and stir gently.
Bake in the oven until chicken is fully cooked through, about 45-55 minutes, stirring at halftime.
Serve with bread or green salad.

Hi Shamnam, How are you? Is there anyway we can make this recipe without using the mayonnaise so that it is healthier? Please let me know.
Hi Shery, you can use plain yogurt instead of mayo but it is more delicious with mayo ;)
Looks so delicious & easy. My mom does something very similar, but instead of the pom, she adds saffron. I\'m going to make your version tonight. Merci!
