| 1. Combine the spices in a small bowl. | 2. Heat a Dutch oven or heavy, lidded skillet over medium-high heat, add the oil, and brown the chicken. | 3. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, 3-5 minutes. | 4. Stir in the spices and garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. | 5. Add the chicken broth and carrots, scrape up any brown bits that have accumulated on the bottom of the pan, cover tightly, and simmer over low heat for 20 minutes. | 6. While the chicken cooks, prepare the lemons: for preserved lemons or fresh Meyer lemons, slice crosswise and remove seeds; for standard lemons, juice and strain out seeds, then remove zest from the juiced halves with a vegetable peeler and finely slice zest crosswise. | 7. If olives have pits, while the chicken cooks, smash 1-2 olives at a time with the flat side of a chef's knife and remove pits. | 8. Uncover the chicken and add the lemons and olives (and extra salt and sugar, if using fresh lemons). Turn up heat to medium-low and continue to simmer for another 10 minutes, turning chicken after 5 minutes. | 9. If sauce hasn't thickened yet, remove chicken to a plate, increase heat and continue to simmer sauce until thick. | 10. Serve over couscous or rice. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
