Chicken with Green Olives and Lemon

To prepare a delicious chicken with olives and lemon, we start by peeling and finely chopping an onion. This will add a flavorful base to our dish. Garlic, an essential ingredient, must also be finely chopped so that its strong aroma integrates perfectly into the composition. Then, we focus on the chicken: we cut it into suitable pieces, wash it well under a stream of cold water, and then dry it with a paper towel to remove excess water.

In a large pot, we heat the oil over medium heat. When it is well heated, we add the chopped onion and garlic. We stir gently to avoid burning them, letting them sauté until the onion becomes translucent and starts to take on a slight golden color. At this point, we add the pieces of chicken to the pot, taking care to place them evenly so that they get a nice crust. We stir occasionally to ensure that all parts are cooked evenly.

We season the chicken with salt and pepper to taste, and this step will enhance the flavors of the dish. Once the meat starts to brown, we add the olives, which will bring a salty and savory contrast. Next, we cut a lemon into four, adding it to the pot to provide a fresh and tangy note. Saffron, a precious spice, is the next ingredient, serving to give a vibrant color and an unmistakable aroma to the sauce.

After all the ingredients are in the pot, we pour warm broth over, which will help form a rich sauce. We cover the pot with a lid and let it simmer on medium heat. It is important to check occasionally, stirring gently to prevent sticking. The dish will be ready when the sauce has reduced, thickened, and the chicken is well cooked, tender, and full of flavors.

For serving, we recommend enjoying this dish alongside couscous or rice, which will absorb the delicious sauce and perfectly complement the meal. Enjoy your meal!
