Ingredients:

Serving

4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
2 tbsp olive oil
2 medium onions, sliced 1/4 inch thick
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1/2 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
8 pieces preserved meyer lemon
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup dry white wine
16 pitted green olives, halved
2 tbsp coarsely chopped fresh cilantro

Directions:

Pat chicken dry, then season with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté chicken until golden brown, about 3 minutes on each side. Transfer chicken to a plate and keep warm, covered.
Add remaining tablespoon oil to skillet and reduce heat to moderate. Cook onions and garlic, stirring frequently, until softened but not browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Add turmeric and pepper and cook, stirring, 1 minute.
Scrape pulp from preserved lemon, reserving for another use. Cut rind into thin strips and add to onions with broth, wine, and olives.
Return chicken, with any juices accumulated on plate, to skillet. Braise, covered, until chicken is cooked through, about 12 minutes. Serve sprinkled with cilantro.
