Method
If you have a sear or braise function on the slow cooker, switch it on. If not, do this in a frying pan. Add the chicken, onions and olive oil to the slow cooker/pan and cook for around 5 minutes until the onions have started to soften and the chicken is turning golden.
If you need to, transfer the chicken and onions to the slow cooker. Add the cinnamon, sugar, pomegranate molasses and chicken stock. Season well with salt and pepper. Stir, put the lid on the slow cooker and cook on high for at least 2 hours until the chicken and onions are tender.
Toast the walnuts in a dry frying pan over a medium-high heat for around 3 minutes until fragrant. Stir into the stew.
Serve topped with the pomegranate seeds and parsley, with rice alongside, if you like.
