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.

GRILLED CHICKEN PITA WITH YOGURT SAUCE AND ARUGULA
You might need a few common ingredients from the grocery store - chicken breast, cucumbers, yogurt, herbs - to make this satisfying pita sandwich, but it's not at all difficult to put together. It's a year-round favorite. If you're in the mood to bake, try making your own pita bread.

SPICED ROAST CHICKEN WITH TANGY YOGURT SAUCE
This weeknight meal is inspired by the spiced chicken and rice that draws lines at halal street carts across Manhattan. Whether it's lunchtime or late at night, the scent and Mediterranean flavors of grilled and chopped chicken served over turmeric-tinged yellow rice (or wrapped in pita) alongside shredded iceberg salad lures a crowd. Everything gets an imperative, generous drizzle of that signature creamy and tangy white sauce, made here with a blend of yogurt, mayonnaise and spices. Fresh garlic, cilantro and lemon juice are combined with a tasty mix of fragrant spices, then rubbed all over the chicken before it's roasted until golden and crispy. The iceberg-and-tomato salad offers a cool, refreshing contrast to the spiced chicken.
