Chicken with Citrus and Olives

Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 6 large chicken thighs, skin removed
- 1/3 cup flour
- 4 large garlic cloves, minced
- 2 large shallots, diced
- One - 14 ounce jar fire roasted artichokes, drained
- 3/4 cup chicken stock
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 3 tablespoons capers, blotted dry
- 2/3 cup Moroccan dry cured olives (pitted)
- 1 tablespoon finely minced preserved lemon (rind only)
- 1/2 cup Italian Parsley, finely chopped
- Several sprigs of fresh thyme
- 1 fresh lemon, sliced fine
- 1 fresh orange sliced fine
- 3 sprigs fresh thyme
Method:
2. In the same pan, add the garlic and shallots, keep the heat on low so the garlic does not burn. Add the artichokes and cook for about 5 minutes. Return the reserved chicken to the pan and pour the stock and orange juice over.
3. Sprinkle the capers, olives, preserved lemon, thyme sprigs and parsley over. Layer the slices of lemon and orange over the top. Increase the heat to bring everything to a low simmer.
4. Bake in a 375F oven for about 40 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
Note: Serve with rice or noodles.
