How to Make Chicken Nice Style
- Season 1.5 lbs of chicken pieces (thighs and drumsticks recommended) generously with salt and pepper.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat.
- Add the chicken and brown on all sides, about 10 minutes, until golden brown.
- Add 1 cup chopped carrots, 1 cup chopped celery, 1 medium onion (chopped), and 2 cloves minced garlic. Sauté until vegetables are softened but not browned, about 5-7 minutes.
- Pour in 1/2 cup dry white wine and bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Add 2 cups chicken stock, 1 (14.5 ounce) can of diced tomatoes (undrained), 1/2 cup pitted Kalamata olives (halved), 1 teaspoon coriander seeds, and a pinch of saffron threads.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low.
- Cover the pan tightly with parchment paper and the lid. Simmer for 45 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.
- Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside in a warm place.
- Increase the heat to medium-high. Add 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice and scrape the bottom of the pan to loosen any browned bits.
- Stir in 1/2 cup heavy cream and 2 tablespoons of thinly sliced preserved lemons.
- Reduce the sauce by half, or until thickened, about 10-15 minutes.
- Strain the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve if desired for a smoother consistency. Season with sea salt and pepper to taste.
- Return the chicken to the pan and coat with the sauce.
- Garnish with 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro.
- Serve immediately with crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
