Add the garlic cloves, spices, and coriander .
Cook for about 10 minutes, turning the chicken pieces occasionally to distribute the sauce evenly.
Stir in enough water to cover, about 1 cup, and simmer over low heat, adding more water if necessary until the chicken is tender.
Add olives and lemon and cook over a somewhat lower heat for 8-10 more minutes, or until sauce is reduced.
Serve over rice or couscous.

It is more advisable to buy the chicken breast from a butcher who you trust rather than buying the pre-packaged ones whose origin and rearing condition is unknown to you.
