Ingredients

Method

In large nonstick skillet, heat half of the oil over medium-high heat; brown chicken, about 10 minutes. Transfer to plate; pour off fat in pan.

Add remaining oil to pan; reduce heat to medium. Add onion, garlic, bay leaves, pepper, oregano, cumin, coriander and salt; cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened, about 5 minutes. Return chicken to pan. Add stock, lemon juice and sugar; place lemon slices over chicken. Reduce heat, cover and simmer, occasionally spooning sauce over chicken, for 15 minutes.

Add tomatoes and olives; cook, uncovered, until juices run clear when chicken is pierced, 5 to 10 minutes. Discard bay leaves. Sprinkle with parsley.
