Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 tablespoon ground coriander
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper adjust to taste
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 large onion sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper sliced
  • 4 large pita breads or flatbreads
  • Fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  2. In a large bowl, combine olive oil, cumin, coriander, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, turmeric, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, salt, black pepper, lemon juice, and Greek yogurt. Mix well to create a marinade.
  3. Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
  4. In a large oven-safe skillet or baking dish, spread the sliced onion and bell peppers evenly.
  5. Place the marinated chicken thighs on top of the vegetables.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  7. Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.
  8. Slice the chicken and serve it in pita breads or flatbreads, topped with the roasted vegetables and garnished with fresh parsley.
