Samantha to the rescue

Chicken chicken chicken... you could make Khorak-e Morgh... which is a kind of chicken stew...

I make it for two people... so I'm gonna give you the recipe for that...
But it takes us 2 days to eat it all

2 chicken breasts (you could use thighs and stuff... but I prefer breast)
1 medium white or yellow onion (chopped, but NOT finely)
2 tablespoons of tomato sauce
1 tablespoon of turmeric (optional, its just for color)
2-3 carrots (chopped, however you like it... just don't shred it)
1 large potato (chopped in the same size as ur carrots, UNcooked)
1/2 stick of cinnamon
salt and pepper (you could use those big dried peppers if you want it to be hot)
2 tablespoons of lemon juice
And 1-2 tablespoons of oil

Pour water into the pot... I use a small one bcz its just for two people... put the temp on high... and I pour lots of water... cz it would evaporate...
Add everything except the potato and lemon juice... cz the potato would get mushy... and the lemon juice would loose its taste...
When it starts boiling... turn the temp to medium... cover partially... and let it cook for about 30-40 minutes... just be careful... you don't want all the water to evaporate... your gonna use it as a sauce for your rice...
After that... add the potato... let it cook on the same temp until they are done...
The water/sauce should be about 1 cup now... if you want the taste to be more powerful... then let it evaporate more...
The last 2-3 minutes... add the lemon juice... and you are done...

Meanwhile... cook your rice like you normally do... without adding anything to it...

Bon Appetit

EDIT:
I think the recipe Muhammad gave is Fesenjoon... cz it has pomegranate juice in it...

Anyways... I just remembered you have fish too...
So... do you want a Persian fish recipe? Or the chicken is enough for tonight?

EDIT EDIT:
Sorry that it took me a bit... lol
ok... this is called Ghalieh Maahi... its a fishy veggie dish and it is supposed to be hot hot... but some can't stand the heat and eat it mild

Anyways... I personally haven't made it but I have the recipe... but my mom used to make it and I looooved it...

You need white fish for this... something like Hammor, Tilapia, Trout...
2 lbs fish
1-2 medium onions
1 lbs fresh coriander
0.250 lbs fresh fenugreek
0.200 lbs تمبر هندی --> pronounced Tambr Hendi... its something sour and dark colored... I guess its TAMARIA HINDI in English...
1/2 tablespoon turmeric
Fresh pepper (red would be good, add as much as you want the food to be hot)
1/2 garlic
0.100 lbs oil

Wash the greens... wait until they are dried... chop them finely.
Chop the onions finely... fry them until golden...
This is the funny part... I can't find an equivalent word for it... so I'm gonna describe the action... beat the hell out of the garlic... lol... and add it to the onion... then add the greens.
Wait until the water has evaporated and it has been fried a bit.
Separately chop the fish into pieces (size doesn't matter) and put it on medium heat with 1/2-1 cup of water and some salt until it cooks. You could also cook it first and then chop it after its cooked.
Then you take the fish out of the water and add it to the greens. (you want your stew to have pieces of fish, and not the whole thing... and no skin...)
Put the Tamari Hindi into 1/2 cup of boiling water for a while.... then pass it through a thin cloth to take the juice out... then add the juice to the greens and fish...
Add the turmeric and some salt and stir...
Fry the entire thing for a while... and then add 2-3 cups of water to it... put the temp on medium... and let it boil... Don't let it get dry... you need the sauce...
At the end... check if its sour and salty enough...

Eat it with normal white rice...

Bon Appetit
