Add ras el hanout, lower heat to medium low and cook until very fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add chicken and broth/stock, and cook for about 20 minutes over medium low heat, turning often. Remove chicken from pan and cool slightly. Shred chicken and return to pan. Add parsley, figs, cilantro, almonds and olives or preserved lemon. Check seasoning and adjust with salt and pepper. Let cool to room temperature. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Lay two sheets of filo on a cutting board, short edge towards you. Brush with butter. Lay two more on top of that. Put about a 1/3 cup of chicken about 3\" from edge closest to you. Fold edge up
