Moroccan Style Spicy Chicken Rice 25 Minutes to Make

this is a super quick, super tasty recipe! it will turn out best if you use the moroccan style ras el hanout as opposed to the algerian one - the moroccan version has warmer spice tones & the algerian has more earthy tones. you can add another dimension to this with a little bit of finely chopped preserved lemon.
