I love this dish. I first learned of it from a Mennonite cookbook. I use only fresh herbs, double the amount of chicken broth, the chickpeas and the seasonings and find it even more delicious the next day. In the summer, I grill an entire chicken and use half of it in this dish. YUM!

This turned out delicious. The spices are recognizable, but not overpowering, the soft texture of the couscous contrasted by the crispier chickpeas and the zucchini, the chicken moist and flavourful.

This dish is very, very pretty. I don't know what I was expecting, but this tasted like a very good chicken noodle soup! Fun and easy to eat.

This was very tasty for such a simple dish. I have made it twice, and the second time I substituted canned tomatoes with juice for the fresh ones, with a little less stock. Not as distinctive, but still delicious.
