Simmered Moroccan Chicken with Preserved Lemen Recipe

1. Remove and discard pulp from preserved lemon. Rinse peel to remove excess salt. Cut peel into 1/4-inch pieces (about 2 tablespoons). Set aside. Mix flour, sea salt, cinnamon and cumin in shallow dish. Coat chicken evenly with flour mixture.

2. Heat oil in large deep skillet or Dutch oven on medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook 10 minutes or until browned, turning once. Remove from skillet.

3. Stir onion, bell pepper and carrot into skillet. Cook and stir 5 minutes or until tender. Add tomatoes, broth, apricots and bay leaves; mix well. Bring to boil. Return chicken to skillet. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 5 minutes. Stir in preserved lemon and olives; cover and simmer 10 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Remove bay leaves. Serve with couscous, if desired.Test Kitchen Tip: Preserved Lemons can be easily made at home. They can also be purchased in specialty food stores and Middle Eastern markets.
