Continue to cook the mixture in the pot until chickpeas are tender perhaps another 1 1/2 hour. Add more water, if necessary, to retain roughly the same level. When chickpeas are done, retrun the chicken to the pot ot heat through. To serve in a traditional manner, distribute the prepared couscous in a large bowl or platter with curved edges, and ladle on as much liquid from the stew as the couscous will absorb. Pile chicken in the center, finish by ladling chickpeas and sauce over all.
