    In a large Signature Round Casserole set over medium heat, heat olive oil. Add the onion and fennel and cook until translucent, about 5 to 8 minutes. Add garlic and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the preserved lemon and stir until evenly incorporated. Add all of the chicken stock and bring to a boil, then immediately lower to a simmer.

    Remove meat from half of the rotisserie chicken and tear into bite-sized pieces (reserve remaining chicken for later use). Add the chicken and chickpeas to simmering liquid and cook until evenly heated, about 5 to 10 minutes. Season to taste.
