FESENJEN OR CHICKEN WITH WALNUTS & POMEGRANATE (SLOW COOKER)
This is one of those times that you are surprised by the result when it is so easy to prepare. Also a rare treat to have something out of the slow cooker that I would serve at a dinner party :) I served with steamed rice. Adapted from Secrets of Slow Cooking.

- Transfer walnuts to a food processor and "finely" chop them.

- Add the water & bay leaf to the cooker and cover.
- Cook on low for 4 hours or until chicken is tender & reads 180F on an instant read thermometer.
- Use tongs to remove the chicken.
- Pull the meat off the bones & set the meat aside.
- Turn the cooker to high and stir in the sugar and pomegranate molasses.
- Cook 1 hour or until the sauce is thickened and simmering. (If you prefer a thicker sauce, transfer it to a saucepan instead and boil for 20-25 minutes).
- Return the chicken to the sauce and cook until the chicken is heated through.
- Discard the bay leaf.
