  1. Season the chicken thighs with salt, pepper, turmeric, and ginger. Let them marinate for at least 1 hour.
  2. In a tagine or a heavy pot, cook the marinated chicken with a little olive oil until each side is golden brown. Add sliced onions and garlic and cook until soft.
  3. Add chicken stock just to cover the chicken. Bring to a simmer.
  4. Add preserved lemons and olives. Cover and cook on low heat for about 1 hour until the chicken is cooked through.
  5. Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro before serving.

Notes

Using bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs will give you a juicier and more flavorful dish. The preserved lemons can be quite salty, so consider this when seasoning the dish.
