  2. Reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, till the chicken is tender, about 1 hour. (The recipe can be prepared up to this point up to 2 days ahead; cover and chill. Rewarm before continuing.)
  3. Meanwhile, rinse the preserved lemons under running water; pat dry.
  4. Separate the lemons into quarters. Throw away the pulp from one of the lemons and finely chop the peel. Reserve the quarters for garnish.
  5. Transfer the chicken to a large plate. Strain the cooking liquid and return it to the casserole. Boil over high heat till slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Add in the minced preserved lemon and the olives and simmer over moderate heat for 2 minutes. Add in the chicken pcs and simmer till heated through.
  6. Arrange the chicken pcs in a serving dish. Pour the sauce on top and garnish with the lemon quarters.
