Make a well in the center and add the honey and water. Mix for 10-12 minutes until smooth. Add the sunflower oil and knead for another minute. Cover the dough and let it rest for 30 minutes. Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the chopped yellow onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes. Add the finely chopped chicken thighs, ras el hanout, turmeric powder, cayenne powder, garlic powder, and salt. Cook for 6-7 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked. Stir in the dried parsley and mix well. Let the chicken mixture cool completely. Divide the dough into 9 equal pieces of about 85 g each. Shape them into balls. Grease your hands with oil and flatten a dough ball on an oiled work surface (25 ml oil). Cover and let rest for 30 minutes. Grease your work surface again (15 ml oil per msmen) and place the dough on it. Using your fingertips, gently stretch it from the center outward into a very thin sheet, approximately 38 x 33 cm. Regularly oil your hands to prevent tearing. Use a pizza cutter to make 4 small cuts around the edges to make folding easier, dividing the dough into three sections. Place a slice of cheese on the dough and top with a portion of the chicken mixture. Fold the dough from left to right. Place the filled msmen on a sheet of parchment paper. Cook in a frying pan over medium heat until golden brown and fully cooked on both sides.
