Epicurious
Thanks to Sue
Yield: 4 servings

2 Meyer lemons or regular lemons
1 Tbsp. olive oil
1 large onion, halved, thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, pressed
1 Tbsp. paprika
2 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 tsp. ground ginger
2 cups low salt chicken broth
1 4½ pound chicken, cut into 8 pieces, skin removed
½ cup green olives

Cut 1 lemon into 8 wedges. Squeeze enough juice from second lemon to measure 2 tablespoons. Set wedges and juice aside. Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and sprinkle with salt and pepper; saute until golden brown, about 8 minutes. Add next 5 ingredients; stir 1 minute. Add broth; bring to a boil. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper; add to skillet. Add lemon wedges. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until chicken is cooked through, turning occasionally, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer chicken to platter. Add olives and 2 tablespoons lemon juice to skillet. Increase heat to high; boil uncovered to thicken slightly, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Pour over chicken.

Note: Sue serves this by putting the chicken and sauce on a bed of Israeli couscous.
