I have tried several recipes for chicken with lemon & olives but it never did taste the same as I had while in Morocco. When visiting my Moroccan sister-in-law this week she showed me how it is traditionally made. Many times it is served with fried potatoes on top. (Peel & cut the potatoes into french fry length then fry until golden brown.) Smen is rancid butter similar to ghee but with spices added. It can be purchased online or at a Middle Eastern store. Prep time does not include marinating time.

1 Done	Poke Small Holes in the Chicken With a Skewer. Mix the Ingredients For the Marinade Then Coat the Meat & Skin of the Chicken With the Marinade. Let Sit in the Refrigerator For at Least 6 Hours.
2 Done	Remove the Flesh from the Preserved Lemon to Be Used in the Browning Mixture.
3 Done	Place the Chicken in a Large Pressure Cooker. Then Add All the Ingredients For the Sauce to the Cooker Along With Enough Water to Reach Halfway Up the Chicken. Seal With the Lid & Cook For 20 Minutes (after It Begins to Hiss). Poke With a Fork to Make Sure That the Chicken Is Done & No Blood Leaks Out.
