Moroccan Chicken with Preserved Lemons, Submitted in response to a recipe request by Friedel , this was delish! i also added a pinch of saffron threads, crumbled, to the chicken mixture i omitted the olives i served this with garlic noodles, that i added a bit of the preserved lemons & cilantro to , I just made this chicken last night for my husband I did not eat any myself The only changes I made were that I put garlic and olive oil on the chicken and let it sit for awhile I did not skim the fat and did not use cilantro Also, I let it cook about ten to fifteen minutes extra to thicken the sauce My husband absolutely loved this chicken and wants me to make it every week! Thank you so much for this recipe!
