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

  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.
