Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Season the chicken thighs with a teaspoon of ground coriander, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and a pinch of pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the chicken and cook for 1-2 minutes per side; transfer to a plate.
  2. Reduce heat to medium and add the remaining tablespoon olive oil, fennel pieces, leek, and garlic; season with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon coriander, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and a little pepper.

    Cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes, until the vegetables have softened. Add the olives and lemon slices and cook for about 2 minutes, until the lemon begins to brown around the edges.

  3. Return the chicken thighs to the pan and add the chicken broth. Bring to a boil. Cover and simmer for about 15 minutes, until the meat is tender.

    Remove the lid, increase the heat to medium-high, bring to a simmer, and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens. Stir in the fennel fronds. Garnish with parsley before serving.
