Instructions
- In a small bowl, crumble the saffron threads into 2 tablespoons of warm water. Let it steep and infuse its flavour.
- Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté for a few minutes until they become translucent.

- Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
- Once cooked, taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
- Serve the Moroccan Saffron Chicken over cooked couscous or rice.
- Garnish with fresh coriander leaves.
