SLOW-COOKER MARRAKECH CHICKEN STEW WITH PRESERVED LEMON AND OLIVES



Slow-Cooker Marrakech Chicken Stew With Preserved Lemon and Olives image

This pungent, fragrant chicken stew is not for the weak of palate. Radiating the aromas of toasted cumin and coriander, and spiked with the salty-sour pucker of cured lemons and olives, it produces a heady and exotic effect. If you can't find preserved lemons in your local food markets (high-end stores usually stock them), you can order them or make them yourself.

Yield Serves 4-6

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 tablespoon cumin seed
2 teaspoons coriander seed
1/2 cup flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
4 pounds chicken pieces, or 1 cut-up chicken, skin removed
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 onions, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup white wine
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
Juice and finely grated zest of 1 lemon
1 preserved lemon, homemade or purchased, finely chopped
1/4 cup chopped fresh Italian (flat-leaf) parsley
1/2 cup pitted kalamata olives
Special Equipment
5-6 quart slow cooker

Steps:

  • Heat a medium skillet, preferably cast-iron, over medium-high heat. Add the cumin seed and stir until aromatic, about 30 seconds. Turn off the heat, add the coriander seed, and stir for 30 seconds. Scrape the spices into a mortar with a pestle or into a spice grinder and grind until the cumin and coriander are coarsely ground. Mix with the flour, salt, and pepper in a medium large mixing bowl and dredge the chicken pieces in the seasoned flour mixture; pat off the excess flour and reserve the mixture.
  • Heat the oil in an extra-large skillet over medium-high heat; brown the chicken pieces on both sides, in batches, about 3 minutes per side, then transfer to a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker.
  • Reduce the heat under the skillet to medium. Add the onions and sauté until tender, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic and the reserved seasoned flour mixture and stir until the flour is lightly toasted, about 3 minutes. Add the wine and chicken broth and stir until the sauce is slightly thickened. Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon zest (but not the juice).
  • Pour over the chicken and scatter the chopped preserved lemon over the top. Cover the cooker and cook for 2 to 3 hours on high, or 4 to 6 hours on low, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of one of the uppermost pieces of chicken registers 170°F. Keep warm for as long as 4 hours.
  • Remove the chicken to a platter. Stir the lemon juice, parsley, and olives into the sauce, and spoon over the chicken.

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.

CRISPY CHICKEN STEW WITH LEMON, ARTICHOKES, CAPERS, AND OLIVES RECIPE - (4.2/5)



Crispy Chicken Stew with Lemon, Artichokes, Capers, and Olives Recipe - (4.2/5) image

Provided by Dr_Mom

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tbl granulated garlic
1 tsp sea salt
1 tsp dried oregano
2 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
2 tbls ghee or olive oil
1/2 red onion, peeled, and chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 c. capers with brine
1/2 lemon, thinly sliced
1/4 c. white wine
3 c. Chicken Bone Broth (N.B. Chicken broth will do in a pinch but bone broth has a more earthy flavor)
2 c. canned artichoke hearts
1 c. Kalamata olives
1 1/2 tsp chopped fresh oregano

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine the granulated garlic, 1/2 teaspoon of the sea salt, and the dried oregano. Add the chicken thighs and rub the seasoning into the chicken until evenly coated; set aside. You can also cover and refrigerate the chicken thighs and marinate for 2 to 24 hours. When you're ready to cook the chicken, heat the ghee or oil in a cast-iron skillet or sauté pan over medium-heat. Remove the marinated chicken thighs from the bowl and, using paper towels, pat the chicken thighs dry. Place the chicken thighs, skin side-down, in the hot ghee or oil, spacing them evenly, and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, until the skin begins to brown. Turn the chicken thighs and brown on the opposite side for 5 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet over medium heat, add the onion, garlic, capers, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon sea salt. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the lemon slices. Add the white wine and deglaze the skillet, stirring to loosen any browned bits stuck to the bottom. Bring to a simmer and let cook for 5 minutes. Add the chicken broth, return the thighs to the skillet, and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 5 minutes. Add the artichoke hearts and olives and continue simmering for 10 minutes. Remove the chicken thighs from the skillet, pull the meat from the bones, and roughly chop (Note, I leave the thighs whole as in the picture). Add the chicken meat back into the skillet and stir to distribute evenly. To serve, scoop the stew into serving bowls and garnish with the chopped fresh oregano. Do Ahead: The stew or any leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 1 week, or frozen for up to 6 months.

Crispy Chicken Stew with Lemon, Artichokes, Capers, and Olives image

We love lemon, artichokes, and olives, so this dish just makes sense to us. We almost always leave the skin on our chicken thighs so we can render out some of the fat and crisp the skin to perfection. If you and your family enjoy Greek flavors as much as we do, then this stew will quickly become a favorite in your household.

BRAISED CHICKEN WITH LEMON AND OLIVES



Braised Chicken With Lemon and Olives image

A good cook needs an assortment of chicken dishes to fall back on. Aside from roasting or frying (and in addition to grilling), braising chicken is a simple technique to master. Chicken thighs make the best braises; use skin-on bone-in thighs for the best flavor. Though it could be done on the stovetop, this dish is oven-braised. Here are more recipes using chicken thighs.

Provided by David Tanis

Categories     dinner, lunch, roasts, main course

Time 1h45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 chicken thighs, skin-on and bone-in, about 3 1/2 pounds
Salt and pepper
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
6 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon crushed fennel seeds
1 tablespoon roughly chopped rosemary
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 Meyer lemons, cut in wedges
1 cup flavorful olives with pits, a mixture of black and green, about 1 pound
1 cup chicken broth
3 tablespoons chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season well with salt and pepper and place in an earthenware baking dish in one layer, skin side up. Sprinkle with red pepper, garlic, fennel and rosemary and drizzle with olive oil. Rub seasoning into thighs on all sides. Tuck lemon wedges here and there. Let marinate for 15 minutes. Heat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Put baking dish in oven, uncovered, and roast until skin browns lightly, about 20 minutes. Scatter olives evenly over chicken and add broth. Cover tightly and bake for 1 hour, until meat is very tender when probed with a skewer.
  • Remove thighs and lemon wedges and arrange on a platter. Keep warm. Pour pan juices into a saucepan and quickly skim fat from surface. Over high heat, simmer rapidly until reduced by half. Spoon juices over chicken, sprinkle with parsley and serve.
