Time 4h57m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

¼ cup olive oil, or to taste
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
salt and ground black pepper to taste
4 large chicken thighs
2 tablespoons olive oil, or as needed
1 white onion, chopped
2 cups water, or as needed
16 saffron threads
½ preserved lemon, pulp discarded and thinly sliced
¼ cup olives, or to taste
2 artichoke bottoms, chopped
¼ cup coarsely chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Whisk 1/4 cup olive oil, garlic, turmeric, cumin seeds, salt, and pepper together in a bowl and pour into a resealable plastic bag or container. Add chicken, coat with the paste and seal bag or container. Marinate in the refrigerator, 4 hours to overnight.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Add onion; cook and stir until soft and translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove chicken from marinade, discarding marinade. Add chicken thighs skin-side down to stockpot and cook until browned, about 4 minutes. Flip chicken thighs and cook until browned on second side, about 3 minutes more.
  • Lower heat to medium and add water to cover chicken halfway, cover stockpot, and cook for 20 minutes. Uncover stockpot, sprinkle saffron threads onto chicken, and top with preserved lemon slices. Replace cover and cook until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and juices run clear, about 5 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Uncover stockpot and transfer chicken to a serving platter.
  • Continue simmering liquid in stockpot until thickened to sauce consistency, 5 to 7 minutes. Spoon sauce over chicken; top with olives, artichokes, and parsley.

MOROCCAN ROASTED CHICKEN WITH PRESERVED LEMONS



Moroccan Roasted Chicken With Preserved Lemons image

Provided by Christine Benlafquih

Categories     Entree     Dinner

Time 3h20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 25

1 whole chicken
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1/4 teaspoon saffron threads , crumbled
1 small clove garlic, finely chopped or pressed
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
For the Sauce:
2 large yellow or white onions
2 cloves garlic
1 teaspoon ginger
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 cinnamon stick, optional
1 teaspoon smen, Moroccan preserved butter, optional
3 to 4 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/4 teaspoon saffron threads, crumbled
1​ preserved lemon , quartered , seeds removed
Handful red or green olives

Steps:

  • Make a spice rub for the chicken from the ginger, turmeric, garlic, cilantro, olive oil, and lemon juice.
  • Gently lift and loosen the skin of the chicken from the breast and leg meat, leaving the skin intact. Spoon most of the spice mixture under the skin, and rub the spices over the meat, taking care to reach the leg.
  • Turn the chicken over, and loosen the skin from the back of the chicken. Add the remaining spice rub to the back meat, reaching to the legs if possible.
  • Salt and pepper the cavity of the chicken, truss the legs and rub a little olive oil on the outside of the chicken. Transfer the chicken to a glass or plastic bowl, cover tightly, and refrigerate overnight.
  • Set aside the saffron. Slice the onions as thinly as possible. Place the onions, garlic, remaining spices, cilantro, oil and smen in a heavy-bottomed shallow stock pot or Dutch oven . Cover and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally for an hour or until the onions are soft and can easily be mashed with a spoon or vegetable masher. Avoid burning the onions, and add a little oil or water if necessary to prevent the onions from sticking.
  • Mash the onions and continue cooking, uncovered, until the onions are reduced to a thick blended mass sitting in the oil. How long this takes will depend on how moist the onions were, how thinly you sliced them, and how wide your pot is.
  • When the onions are a unified mass, stir in the saffron and remove the onions from the heat. At this point, the sauce can be cooled and refrigerated overnight.
  • Transfer the chicken to an oiled shallow roasting pan, allow the chicken to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven 325 F/160 C.
  • Roast the chicken uncovered, basting occasionally and rotating the pan halfway through cooking, for 2 to 3 hours, or until the skin is golden brown and the leg can be moved easily in its joint.
  • Transfer the cooked chicken to a serving plate, or hold warm in the turned off oven.
  • Pour the juices from the roasting pan into the onion sauce mixture, stirring to blend. Add the preserved lemon and olives, 2 or 3 tablespoons of water as needed and simmer the sauce over medium heat for about 10 minutes, or until well-blended and the sauce is thick.
  • Pour the sauce onto the serving platter, spooning a little sauce and olives over the chicken. Garnish the chicken with some of the preserved lemons, and serve immediately with Moroccan bread ( khobz ) for scooping up the chicken and sauce.

STOVETOP MOROCCAN CHICKEN WITH PRESERVED LEMON AND OLIVES



Stovetop Moroccan Chicken With Preserved Lemon and Olives image

This chicken with preserved lemons and olives is a classic Moroccan dish. This recipe calls for using a Dutch oven or heavy- bottomed pot.

Provided by Christine Benlafquih

Categories     Dinner     Entree

Time 1h45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 whole chicken, skin on or removed, cut into pieces
1/3 cup vegetable oil (or a mix of vegetable oil and olive oil; or a mix of oil and butter)
2 very large white or yellow onions (1 lb or 1/2 kg), sliced as thinly as possible
One small handful of fresh cilantro , chopped
One small handful of fresh parsley, chopped
2 or 3 cloves of garlic, finely chopped or pressed
2 teaspoons ginger
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon saffron threads , crumbled (divided; optional)
For the Sauce
1/2 to 1 teaspoon smen (Moroccan preserved butter - optional)
1 handful green or red olives, or mixed
1 preserved lemon, quartered and seeds removed

Steps:

  • Ahead of time if possible, combine the chicken with the onion, garlic, herbs, and spices, including half of the saffron. (Reserve the rest of the saffron for adding to the sauce at a later time.) If time allows, cover and leave the chicken to marinate in the fridge for a few hours or even overnight. Otherwise, proceed to the next step.
  • When ready to cook, transfer the chicken and onions (scrape every last bit out of your bowl) to a heavy-bottomed pot, deep skillet or Dutch oven. Cover and cook the chicken over medium or medium-low heat, gently stirring and turning the chicken every 15 minutes or so, until the chicken is tender enough to pinch off the bones. (This will take approximately one hour, but longer if using a free range chicken). Keep the heat adjusted so that the chicken doesn't scorch, and only add a little water if you feel you must. Typically the chicken will braise in its own juices.
  • When the chicken is cooked, carefully transfer it to a plate and cover.
  • Continue cooking the onion mixture and sauce over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the liquids evaporate and the onions can be mashed into a blended mass which separates from the oils. If your onions do not appear to be melding, you can give a few pulses with an immersion blender, but do not overprocess.
  • Add the preserved lemon, olives, the rest of the saffron, and a few tablespoons of water, and simmer gently for 5 to 10 minutes. Return the chicken to the pot to heat through, or place under the broiler to brown the skin.
  • Place the chicken on a serving platter, pour the onion sauce over the top and sides, and garnish the top of the chicken with the quartered lemon and some olives.
  • For casual meals, consider garnishing the chicken with a handful or two of french fries (patate frite), which may also be offered as a traditional side.
  • Moroccan tradition is to eat by hand, using crusty Moroccan bread for soaking up the sauce.

ONE-PAN CHICKEN AND RICE WITH PRESERVED LEMON



One-Pan Chicken and Rice with Preserved Lemon image

This skillet chicken and basmati rice dish is anything but plain and humble. A homemade seasoning mix, preserved lemon and spiced and pan-seared chicken breasts give the dish bold flavor that's hard to resist. It's quick enough to make as a delicious weeknight dinner but tasty enough for entertaining or a special-occasion meal.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/2 cups basmati rice
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
Kosher salt
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (6 to 8 ounces each)
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 preserved lemon (see Cook's Note)
3/4 cup pitted green olives
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup parsley leaves, chopped

Steps:

  • Rinse and drain the rice 3 to 5 times to get rid of excess starch. Set aside.
  • Combine the cumin, coriander, paprika, cinnamon, turmeric and 1 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and sprinkle them on both sides with half of the spice mixture.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large (12-inch) pan or cast-iron skillet over medium heat. When hot (but not smoking), add the chicken and sear until it forms a golden brown crust, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken and set aside.
  • Pour the remaining 2 tablespoons oil into the same pan and place over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until golden, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the rice and the remaining spice mix and stir to combine.
  • Remove the flesh of the preserved lemon (discard the seeds and save the flesh for another use). Finely chop the lemon rind (peel). Add the rind to the rice followed by the olives. Stir to evenly distribute the olives. Pour the broth and 1 1/2 cups water into the pan and increase the heat to medium high. Bring to a simmer, place the chicken breasts back in the pan and cover the pan. Reduce the heat to medium and cook until the rice is tender and the chicken is cooked through, about 30 minutes (see Cook's Note).
  • You can serve the chicken as is, or shred it and add it back to the rice. Serve sprinkled with parsley.

FOUR-STEP LEMON-ONION CHICKEN



Four-Step Lemon-Onion Chicken image

Provided by Melissa d'Arabian : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (about 8 ounces each), sliced in half horizontally
1 teaspoon dried thyme
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 red onion, thinly sliced
1 small bunch fresh thyme, leaves chopped
1/4 cup white wine (optional)
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
Juice of 2 lemons
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
One 9-ounce bag spinach

Steps:

  • Season the chicken with the dried thyme, and salt and pepper to taste. Heat a large saute pan over medium heat and add the olive oil. Put the flour in a shallow dish. Working in batches, dredge the chicken in the flour and add to the pan; saute until cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and tent with aluminum foil.
  • Add the red onion and fresh thyme to the pan and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until aromatic, about 5 minutes.
  • Combine the wine, chicken broth and the juice of 1 lemon in a bowl. Turn the heat under the pan to high and deglaze with the broth mixture, scraping up the pan with a wooden spoon. Cook until the liquid starts to reduce, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in 1 1/2 tablespoons butter. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Meanwhile, put the spinach in a microwave-safe dish and add 3 tablespoons water; cover loosely with plastic wrap and microwave until hot and wilted, 5 to 6 minutes. Drain and toss with the remaining 1/2 tablespoon butter, the juice of the remaining lemon, and salt and pepper to taste. Arrange on a platter and top with the chicken. Spoon the sauce on top.

CHICKEN WITH LEMON AND SPICY SPRING ONIONS



Chicken with Lemon and Spicy Spring Onions image

Roasting two chickens on one baking sheet is an effortless but strategic way to cook for a crowd.

Provided by Alison Roman

Categories     Bon Appétit     Dinner     Chicken     Spring     Green Onion/Scallion     Garlic     Parsley     Onion     Entertaining     Roast     Soy Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free

Yield 6-8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lemon
2 (3 1/2-4-lb.) chickens
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
2 large red onions, quartered
2 bunches spring onions or 3 bunches scallions, trimmed, divided
4 green garlic bulbs, very finely chopped, or 4 garlic cloves, finely grated
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
6-8 (1"-thick) slices crusty bread
1/4 cup parsley leaves with tender stems
Crushed red pepper flakes (for serving)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Very thinly slice 1 lemon; tease out seeds. Place chickens on a rimmed baking sheet; season outsides and insides all over with salt and black pepper. Scatter red onions, three-quarters of spring onions, and half of lemon slices around.
  • Cook green garlic, oil, and butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, swirling occasionally, until butter melts and garlic starts to lightly sizzle; season with salt and black pepper. Pour over chickens, letting some of the mixture drip onto onions and lemon.
  • Roast chickens, tossing onions and lemon and basting chickens with drippings in baking sheet occasionally, until chickens are golden brown all over and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast registers 160°F and onions and lemon are softened and starting to brown, 80 minutes-2 hours.
  • Remove baking sheet from oven and transfer chickens to a cutting board, leaving onions and lemon behind. Place bread slices on baking sheet and turn once to coat in chicken fat. Return baking sheet with bread and vegetables to oven and roast until vegetables are starting to sizzle and crisp and bread is toasted, 10-15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, thinly slice remaining spring onions and toss in a medium bowl with parsley and remaining lemon slices. Season with salt, black pepper, and enough red pepper flakes to achieve your desired level of spiciness.
  • Carve chickens and transfer to a large shallow bowl or platter (or serve right on the cutting board). Pour any remaining juices on baking sheet over chicken and scatter roasted onions and lemon slices around, followed by raw spring onion mixture. Slice each toast into a few pieces and serve alongside.

BRAISED LEMON-SAFFRON CHICKEN AND POTATOES



Braised Lemon-Saffron Chicken and Potatoes image

In this comforting braise, bone-in chicken and potatoes slowly cook in a lively lemon-saffron bath until the meat is fall-off-the-bone tender and the potatoes are soft and full of flavor. Most of the work in this one-pot dinner happens in the oven, so you can rest or multitask as it cooks. Serve it with rice and spoon the pan juices over top, or with toasted pita to soak up the rich, lemony broth. The whole peppercorns taste delicious and soften in both texture and flavor during the cooking process, but if they are too strong for you, leave them out or crack them before cooking. Leftovers are even better the next day, on top of a salad or tucked into a sandwich.

Provided by Yasmin Fahr

Categories     dinner, poultry, main course

Time 1h45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 heaping teaspoon saffron threads
2 tablespoons hot (not boiling) water
3 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken parts, preferably thighs and drumsticks
1/2 pound yellow or red baby potatoes
3 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons olive oil
Kosher salt and black pepper
3/4 cup fresh lemon juice (from 4 to 6 lemons)
1/2 teaspoon whole black peppercorns (optional)
Cooked rice or toasted pita, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Using a mortar and pestle (or the bottom of a spoon and a bowl), grind the saffron threads into a powder as best you can. Add the 2 tablespoons hot water and stir to combine. Set aside.
  • Place the chicken in a 9-by-13-inch roasting pan or baking dish. Cut large potatoes into 1-inch pieces and add to the pan. Drizzle the chicken and potatoes with the oil, then season well with salt and pepper.
  • Add the lemon juice to the saffron water, mix to combine, then pour over the chicken and potatoes, stirring to coat. Arrange the chicken skin-side down. Sprinkle evenly with the whole black peppercorns, if using, then cover tightly with foil. (It's OK if everything is close together.)
  • Cook until the meat is tender and easily pulled from the bone, and the potatoes are soft, about 1 1/2 hours. During the last 15 minutes, remove the foil, flip the chicken, stir the potatoes and cook for 15 minutes more, uncovered, to reduce some of the liquid.
  • Season with black pepper and serve with rice or pita to soak up the lemony juices.

CHICKEN TAJINE WITH PRESERVED LEMON AND OLIVES



Chicken Tajine With Preserved Lemon and Olives image

Chicken Tajine with preserved lemon is known to be Morocco's second most popular dish after couscous and considered to be the national dish. Tajine is a pot which is made from heavy clay that has been glazed. The shape of the pot is designed to promote the return of all condensate to the bottom. The base of the pot is flat and circular with low sides, and the lid is a shape of a large dome. This recipe was shown on SBS's Food Safari by chef's Hassan M'Souli. I served it with Recipe #221217. Preparation time does not included overnight marinating time.

  • Serve with suggested couscous.

CHICKEN TAGINE WITH OLIVES AND PRESERVED LEMONS



Chicken Tagine With Olives and Preserved Lemons image

This rich and fragrant chicken stew is laden with complex flavors and spices reminiscent of the sort you might encounter in a mountainside cafe in Morocco. Save yourself the cost of a plane ticket, however, and make this at home. First, rub the chicken with a redolent combination of garlic, saffron, ground ginger, paprika, cumin, turmeric and black pepper, then pop it into the refrigerator for 3 to 4 hours to marinate. Once that's done, brown the chicken parts, and remove from the pan, making room for a pile of sliced onions that you'll sauté until golden brown. Nestle a cinnamon stick into the tangle of onions, pile the chicken parts on top and scatter with slices of preserved lemons and olives, a combination of green and kalamata. Add a bit of chicken stock and lemon juice, then cook over low heat until the chicken is cooked through, and your house smells amazing.
