Preparation steps

1.
Rinse chicken under cold running water and pat dry with paper towels. Cut each breast into three pieces. Set aside.
2.
Combine thyme, cilantro, salt, turmeric, cayenne pepper, ginger and saffron in a large bowl. Place chicken pieces and put in the bowl, coat well with the spice mixture. Let the chicken stand for 1 hour in the spices.
3.
Coat bottom of a Dutch oven with half of the olive oil. Arrange chicken in the bottom of the pan. Place garlic, bay leaves, onions and lemons on and around the chicken. Drizzle with remaining olive oil and add water, cover and gently simmer over medium-low heat.
4.
Cook the chicken undisturbed for 40 to 60 minutes, adding more water if necessary. Turn the chicken over, add the olives, and continue cooking until chicken is very tender, about 15 minutes.
5.
Remove from heat, and let cool for about 5 to 10 minutes. Ladle into serving bowls. Serve.
