Preparation steps

Heat the olive oil in a small casserole dish or saucepan set over a medium heat until hot. Add the courgette, onion, and garlic, sweating for 4 - 5 minutes until softened.
3.
Add the chickpeas, chicken, tomatoes, and 100 ml of water. Stir well, cook until simmering, and then cover and cook over a low heat for 20 minutes. Season to taste with a little salt and pepper. Mash the chickpeas roughly with a fork. The stew can be blended in a food processor for children younger than 12 months.

Place the couscous in a heatproof bowl. Cover with the stock, stir once, and cover well. Leave for 10 - 15 minutes until the couscous has absorbed the stock. Fluff with a fork and serve with the chicken stew in bowls.
