SHAWARMA-SPICED CHICKEN PITA WITH TAHINI-YOGURT SAUCE
Traditional shawarma calls for roasting meat on a large vertical spit. We mimic the effect here by roasting at a high temperature, which yields chicken that is crisp on the outside yet moist and juicy on the inside.

SHEET-PAN CHICKEN WITH POTATOES, ARUGULA AND GARLIC YOGURT
Your typical sheet-pan chicken recipe roasts everything together on a pan at once. This version pairs potatoes with the poultry, and tops everything off with fresh herbs and arugula, making it a true one-pan meal, salad included. A savory yogurt sauce adds a creamy touch, but it's optional if you're not a yogurt sauce fan. Feel free to double the recipe if you're feeding a crowd, though make sure to use two sheet pans so that everything is spread out in one layer, which is critical for browning.
