Moroccan Style Spicy Chicken & Rice - 25 Minutes to Make! image

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.
