Total Time 1 hr 35 mins
Servings 4

Ingredients
  

  • 4 bone-in chicken quarters skinless
  • 1 lemon* quartered
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • ¾ cup pitted olives black, green, Kalamata, or a mix, sliced
  • 2 Tbsp capers drained
  • 3 Tbsp fresh parsley finely chopped

Marinade

  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 3 Tbsp olive or avocado oil
  • ¾ tsp turmeric
  • ½ tsp pepper
  • ¼ tsp paprika
  • ¼ tsp mustard powder

Instructions
 

  • Combine marinade ingredients, and put in Ziploc bag with chicken, mixing until chicken is evenly coated. Chill for at least 1 hour.
  • Place chicken in pressure cooker (on rack to elevate from liquid), topping with marinade. Squeeze lemons over chicken, and add to pot along with remaining ingredients, except parsley.
  • Set timer (each model is different - approx 25-35 min).
  • Once done, set chicken aside. Strain liquid (putting capers and olives over chicken), and pour liquid into a skillet. Bring to a boil and reduce by 1/2, then drizzle over chicken to serve. Garnish with parsley.

Notes

For even more authentic flavor, add some Preserved Lemons to the pressure cooker! Discard the pulpy inside, keeping the rind only.Preserved lemon rinds you can eat, however discard the fresh lemons once cooked (they are too bitter even after cooked).
To cook in oven - place chicken and ingredients into a baking dish (big enough so chicken pieces are not overlapping). Cook at 400°F for 40-50 minutes, or until fully cooked.
