Step 2: Season the chicken thighs with salt, black pepper, coriander, cumin, and cinnamon. Add the seasoned chicken to the pot and cook until browned on all sides, about 8 minutes.
Step 3: Add the saffron, olives, preserved lemons, and the juice of one lemon to the pot. Cover and cook on low heat for 1 hour, or until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
Step 4: Serve the tagine hot, with steamed couscous or crusty bread on the side. Enjoy!
