Chicken Tagine with Preserved Lemons & Olives

ClassicOne-Pot4

This Chicken Tagine recipe features juicy chicken thighs, vibrant preserved lemons, and briny olives, all simmered in a tasty broth.

The preserved lemons lend a unique, citrusy aroma that's both refreshing and deeply flavourful, complementing the richness of the olives and the tenderness of the chicken beautifully.

Method

15m1h 45m2h
  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.

Ingredients

  • 5ml Ginger ground
  • Chicken, to taste
  • 5ml Turmeric
  • Parsley Fresh for garnish or cilantro
  • 500ml Chicken Stock
  • 30ml Olive Oil
  • 1 Onion sliced
  • 2 cloves Garlic minced

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.
