Rub the chicken with salt, black pepper, ginger, turmeric, and cinnamon.
Sear the chicken in olive oil for 8 minutes, until it takes on color.
Add the onions and garlic and soften them for 7 minutes.
Add the chicken stock, olives, and finely chopped preserved lemon to the pot.
Cover the pot and cook over low heat for 45 minutes.
Uncover and reduce the sauce for 8 minutes.
Sprinkle with parsley and serve hot with couscous.
💡 Tip: If you cannot find preserved lemon, use a little lemon zest with green olives and adjust the salt at the end because the olives are already salty.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve hot on a wide platter with couscous, parsley, and strained yogurt if desired.
