CHICKEN WITH GREEN OLIVES



Chicken With Green Olives image

This dish, which draws inspiration and ingredients from Moroccan cooking, is astonishing for its complexity, even in this simple form. It features sweet spices like cinnamon and ginger offset by garlic and paprika. But what makes it a real winner is the combination of those flavors with lemon and green olives, both of which have a mouth-puckering quality that, combined with the spice mix, is enchanting.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
3 to 4 pounds leg-thigh pieces of chicken, cut in two, excess fat removed
