Directions:

In a wide casserole or heavy-bottomed pan that can hold all of the chicken in one layer, heat the oil then add the onions. Saute over low heat until softened, then stir in the garlic, saffron, and ginger.
Put in the chicken pieces, season with pepper, and pour in about 1 1/4 cups water. Simmer, covered, for about 30 minutes, turning chicken pieces occasionally.
Stir into the sauce the lemon juice, chopped coriander and parsley, preserved lemon peel cut into strips, and olives. Simmer uncovered for 5 to 10 minutes, until sauce has thickened. If there is too much liquid, remove chicken and reduce sauce, then return chicken to the pan and heat through.
Present the chicken on a serving dish with the lemon peel and olive sauce on top of the meat.
Variation: add 1 finely diced jalapeno pepper with the onions, and 1/2 tbsp lemon juice toward the end of cooking.
