One Pan Olive Chicken

The version of olive chicken for the “no patience/time” kind of day!

No dishes kind of dish that look presentable and that is full of flavor for the holiday is what i’m talking about.

• 7 chicken legs with attached thigh (or drumsticks if you prefer)

• 400g green olives

• 10 cloves of garlic, minced

• 1 preserved lemon, minced

• 1/2 red pepper, sliced thin

• 3 tbsp oil

• 1 1/2 tbsp paprika

• 1/2 tbsp cumin

• 1 tsp turmeric

• 1 tsp black pepper

• 1 cup water

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 350F. Line a full size foil pan with parchment paper. Place your chicken in it.

2. Arrange olives, garlic, preserved lemon and red peppers all over the chicken.

3. In a small bowl, combine oil and spices. (Note that i dont include salt because my preserved lemon as well as my olives are salty)

4. Brush mixture all over the chicken. You can even go in between the skin and flesh to flavor the chicken even more.

5. Add water all over the chicken. Cover tightly and bake for 2 hours. Then, uncover and bake for an additional 40 minutes.
