Place the chicken in a large bowl. Add olive oil, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, coriander, turmeric, black pepper, salt, garlic powder and optional cayenne pepper. Mix thoroughly until every piece of chicken is evenly coated. Cover and marinate for at least 20 minutes. For deeper flavor, marinate for 2–4 hours in the refrigerator. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper. Spread the sliced red onion and bell pepper evenly across the pan. Arrange the marinated chicken over the vegetables in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding the pan so the chicken can roast properly. Bake for approximately 20–25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). For extra golden, roasted edges, broil for about 2 minutes at the end while watching carefully. For the sauce, combine Greek yogurt, lemon juice, grated garlic, water and salt. Mix until smooth and creamy. Serve the hot shawarma chicken and roasted vegetables with warm pita bread, garlic yogurt sauce, parsley and lemon wedges. You can also fill the pita with the chicken, vegetables and sauce to make delicious homemade shawarma wraps. ⭐ Helpful Tip Chicken thighs stay especially juicy when roasted, but chicken breast can also be used. If using chicken breast, avoid overcooking it so it stays tender.
