Ingredients:

Serving

2 (1 1/2 lb) broiler-fryer chickens
4 large minced onions
4 minced garlic cloves
1 tbsp grated fresh ginger
1 tsp saffron
1 cup olive oil
1 tbsp mixed chopped fresh parsley
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 cup lemon juice
2 cups water
2 tbsp salt
1 tbsp black pepper
1 preserved lemon ( available at a middle eastern grocery or a specialty foods store)
5 oz olives

Directions:

In a large tagine (terra cotta cooking pot) or non-metallic cooking pot, mix the onions, garlic, ginger, saffron, olive oil, parsley, cilantro, cumin, cinnamon, turmeric, paprika and lemon juice.
Add the chicken and toss until all pieces are coated. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator at least 2 hours or overnight.
When ready to cook, pour the water into the tagine or pot. Add the salt and pepper.
Place on the stove and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Let simmer for 35 - 40 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.
While the chicken is cooking, in a separate saucepan, bring the olives and preserved lemon to a boil. Let cook for 10 minutes, then drain.
Add the olive mixture to the chicken 5 minutes before serving. Serve hot.
(Please note that the 2 hour chilling time is included in the prep calculation.).
