Boil the chicken in salted water for 40 minutes, until tender.
Separate the chicken into large pieces and strain the chicken stock.
Finely chop the onion and soften it for 8 minutes with one ladle of chicken stock.
Grind the walnuts, garlic, coriander seed, utskho suneli, and cinnamon very finely.
Add hot chicken stock to the walnut mixture little by little to make a thick sauce.
Put the sauce in a pot and warm it for 7 minutes without boiling.
Add the vinegar and nestle the chicken pieces into the sauce.
Rest the satsivi for 2 hours and serve with pomegranate seeds.
💡 Tip: Grinding the walnuts very finely makes the sauce silky without cream.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve warm or cold with pomegranate seeds, fresh coriander, and lavash.
