Steps:
- Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Let come to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Combine chicken broth, paprika, cumin, ginger, turmeric, cinnamon, and 2 teaspoons lemon zest in a bowl.
- Heat oils in a cast iron skillet until they begin to smoke. Add chicken thighs, skin-side down, and cook for 4 minutes. Flip thighs and continue cooking until skin is crispy, about 4 minutes more. Transfer to a plate. Saute onion in the skillet until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Pour chicken broth mixture carefully over onion; scrape up any browned bits off the bottom of the skillet.
- Return chicken thighs to the skillet. Spoon some of the liquid over the thighs.
- Transfer skillet to the preheated oven; bake until chicken thighs are no longer pink in the center, 25 to 30 minutes.
- Add olives to the skillet. Drizzle lemon juice over the thighs and garnish the whole dish with parsley.

MOROCCAN CHICKEN TAJINE
Steps:
- In a large bowl, mix the garlic, cumin, ginger, paprika, salt and pepper, 1/2 cup grated onion, and the oil.
- Rinse the preserved lemons, and remove the pulp. RESERVE the lemon peel for later use.
- Add the lemon pulp to the mixing bowl. Add the chicken. Mix everything together and place in a large plastic bag to marinate overnight in the refrigerator. (Twenty-four hours really gives the chicken the best flavor.)
- In a large Dutch oven or casserole, place the chicken and marinade; add the stems of the parsley and cilantro, the rest of the grated onion, the powdered saffron and 1 1/2 cups water. Bring to a boil over high heat, turn down to a simmer and cook, partially covered, for 30 minutes.
- Remove the cover, stir the chicken and continue to simmer for another 15 minutes or until the chicken is tender.
- Remove the chicken to a serving dish and cover with foil to keep warm. Keep sauce on stove and begin to reduce.
- Slice the preserved lemon peel into thin slices and add to the sauce along with the olives, parsley and cilantro. Reduce until the sauce is just a little thick. This shouldn't take more than 5 minutes at most.
- Uncover the chicken and remove the skin from the chicken. (It doesn't look pretty and who needs the extra fat.) Pour sauce over chicken and serve.
TZIPPORAH'S MOROCCAN CHICKEN
Preserved lemons yummy... From a sewing friend, this is a distinctively middle eastern dish. Delightful blend of flavors and textures. It does require a little more time in the kitchen, but is well worth it!

Steps:
- Large pan heat and add olive oil. I use a fair amount 1/4 cup or so. It needs a lid to it.
- Take the chicken and rinse well, pat dry with a towel and lay on a plate to season.
- In a bowl take kosher salt if you have it or sea salt and add the pepper to whatever ratio you are comfortable with. I usually just put in a handful of salt (I don't use the whole mixture) Then add about 2 TBS of cumin, paprika and 2 tsp of turmeric. If you have a morter and pestle, I grind the salt (kosher salt is a large flake size) with the spices to combine.
- Take the 4 ounces of hot tap water and crumble up saffron strands in the water and let sit for 5 minutes.
- Take the chicken and rub the spice mixture all over the pieces and place in the frying pan. You want to brown all of the pieces evenly add the onion and brown with the chicken. Onion doesn't all have to be browned, but the chicken should.
- Once the chicken is browned, add the hot water and saffron mixture, if you are using the bullion cubes then dissolve those in 2 cups of hot water or add 2 - 3 cups of chicken broth. Add the chopped lemon now and the olives and garbanzo beans. The amount of olives can be as much as you like 1/2 cup or less. No need to measure, just eyeball it.
- Cover and turn down to a very low simmer. If you have used boneless, skinless chicken it should be ready in about 25 minutes. Bone-in chicken can be cooked for 40 minutes or so. If you have a lower liquid to chicken ratio and you turn it down really low it is like poaching the chicken and the more liquid to chicken with higher temperature will result in boiling the chicken. Poaching makes a more tender piece of meat.
- I usually make a rice with this using Basmati or Jasmine rice that has been browned and simmered with chopped onion, carrots, peas, etc. You can add what you like if they are all the same size dice. You salt rice and brown it in olive oil, add the veggies, then the seasonings and water, turn down low and cook until finished.
- Seasonings can basically copy the main dish or you can branch out.
- Finish it off with green beans cooked with garlic and you are set.
