Combine all marinade ingredients together in a bowl and mix. Save half of the marinate for serving. Marinate the cubed chicken in half of the marinate. In a food processor combine salt, lemon juice, and tahini, whip for 1 minutes. *Scrape down the sides of the food processor between each addition* Add half of the chickpeas, whip for 1 minute. Add remaining chickpeas whip for 2-3 minutes. Hummus will be thick, add water and whip as needed till you get the desired consistency. Bring chicken broth to a boil then add dry couscous, cover pot and remove from take heat. The couscous will absorb all of the liquid. In a medium pan toast chickpeas over medium high heat with ground red pepper, black pepper, and salt. Toast for 5-6 minutes. Then add spinach, cook until wilted. Set aside roasted chickpeas and spinach. In same pan cook chicken in marinate until cook through. Assemble bowls.
