Add leaks and mix until softened. 4: Add fennel, preserved lemon, and fennel leaves to the pan and let it incorporate for 5 minutes. 5: Mix in your chopped herbs and spices. Add saffron water and an extra cup of water. 6: Place your chicken back in the pan and baste it. 7: Simmer on a low flame, covered, for 2 hours. (Optional) Uncover the pan for 30 minutes for a thicker sauce.
