Directions:

  1. Combine the ingredients for the marinade then add in the spice mixture. Pour over the chicken to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (up to 3 hours).
  2. Warm the chicken broth then add the saffron strands, allow to steep while the chicken is marinading.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-low heat in a tagine. Saute the onion until golden, about 5 minutes. Pour in the chicken broth and saffron along with the water.
  4. Place in the chicken and any marinade juices. Season with salt & pepper then cover with the lid. Cook on medium-low heat for 45 minutes.
  5. Uncover and stir in the olives, zucchini, yellow squash and tomato quarters. Add another 1/2 cup of water if needed.
  6. Reduce heat to low & recover. Cook until the vegetables are tender and the chicken is falling off the bone, about 45 minutes.
  7. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a small saucepan over high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the almonds and fry until the skins begin to crackle, about 2 to 3 minutes. Pour the almonds and hot oil over the vegetables and chicken.
  8. Ladle the chicken, vegetables, & sauce over cooked couscous or rice. Sprinkle with the chopped parsley and serve with the lemon quarters as garnishment.
