Ingredients
Instructions
Trim excess fat from the chicken thighs and season with salt and pepper.
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Brown the seasoned chicken thighs for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden.
Add the sliced onion and sauté until translucent (approximately 5 minutes). Stir in minced garlic and ginger along with all spices; cook for another minute until fragrant.
Mix in chickpeas, apricots, chicken stock or water, preserved lemon slices, and green olives; stir gently to combine.
Bring to a gentle boil then reduce heat to low. Cover the pot and simmer for about 30 minutes until the chicken is tender.
Serve warm garnished with fresh parsley and thinly sliced lemon.
