    Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the chickpeas, basil, oregano, and thyme.
    Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chickpeas are lightly browned and crisp. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. 3
    Combine:
    Add the cooked couscous to the skillet with the chickpeas. Stir in the lemon juice and mix everything together until well combined. Adjust seasoning as needed.
