In a Dutch-oven or large skillet with a tight-fitting lid, heat oil and butter over high heat. Add chicken and cook on all sides, until lightly browned, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a plate and set aside.

Return chicken to skillet. Add stock and preserved lemon; stir to combine. Cover and cook over medium-low heat until chicken is cooked through, about 30 minutes.
