1.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium. Cook chickpeas, cumin, and cayenne, shaking to coat, until heated through. Increase heat to medium-high and cook, shaking occasionally, until chickpeas are golden brown and crisp, about 10 minutes. Transfer to paper towels and season immediately with salt.
2.
Meanwhile, pulse parsley and mint in a food processor until finely chopped. Add oil, lemon juice, honey, and salt and pulse to combine.
3.
Toss quinoa with 1/2 cup dressing in a large bowl. Divide among serving bowls. Toss chicken with 1/4 cup dressing in same large bowl. Arrange chicken, cucumbers, avocados, and watercress over quinoa. Top with chickpeas, pickled onions, and sesame seeds. Serve remaining dressing on side for drizzling.
