Add the onion and a pinch of salt and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes.

Stir in the preserved lemon, dates, and lentils.

Pour in the stock and add the salt and saffron.

Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and stir in the olives and garbanzo beans.

Cover the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the lentils are cooked through, about 25 minutes.

While the tagine cooks, pull the meat from the chicken, discarding the skin and bones.

Shred the meat into bite-size pieces and set aside; you should have about 4 1/2 cups chicken.

Stir in the chicken and cook until the chicken is warmed through, 5 minutes.

Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with the parsley.
