Method 2 Steps

1

In a large casserole, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken thighs and cook until lightly browned, then add the onion, followed by the garlic and spices (except salt). When fragrant, add the chopped preserved lemon (or fresh lemon pieces). Stir for 1 minute, then add all the remaining ingredients. Simmer over low heat until the chicken is cooked through and a rich sauce has formed. Taste and add salt only if needed, as the preserved lemon, stock cube, and olives provide plenty of saltiness.
