In the country of Georgia, chicken and fish often are served with a creamy walnut sauce. In our version, braised bone-in chicken thighs are accompanied by a walnut-cilantro puree that's lightly spiced and spiked with pomegranate molasses. If you like, scatter pomegranate seeds over the finished dish. You'll need an oven-safe 12-inch skillet for this recipe. Serve warmed flatbread alongside.
Don't fully submerge the chicken thighs in the sauce when returning them to the pan after browning. Keeping the skin dry and exposed helps it crisp and brown in the oven. Don't forget the skillet handle will be hot after it is removed from the oven, so be sure to use a pot holder.
