- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F) and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix olive oil, cumin, paprika, coriander, turmeric, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Add chicken pieces and toss to coat.
- Add onion wedges and tomato quarters to the pan. Drizzle lightly with olive oil and toss. Spread chicken and vegetables in a single layer.
- Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway, until chicken is golden and cooked through.
- Meanwhile, mix all salad ingredients in a bowl. Set aside to marinate slightly.
- In a small bowl, stir together yogurt, garlic, lemon juice, and salt to make the sauce.
- Serve the roasted chicken and vegetables with the salad, garlic yogurt sauce, and warm flatbread or rice. Drizzle with pomegranate molasses if desired.
Notes
- You can use chicken breast, but thighs stay juicier in the oven.
- Add chili flakes to the marinade for extra heat.
- Pre-make the salad and sauce a few hours in advance for deeper flavor.
- Use store-bought garlic sauce to save time.
