1 clove garlic, minced

1/2 cup 5 percent-fat Greek yogurt
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
1 orange bell pepper, seeded and cut into 1-inch pieces
1/2 large red onion, cut into 6 wedges with root end intact

Sprinkle garlic with salt; mash into a paste with the side of a knife. Stir into yogurt; season with salt and pepper.
Preheat broiler, with rack in upper position. On a rimmed baking sheet, drizzle chicken, bell pepper, and onion with 2 tablespoons oil. Sprinkle with 2 teaspoons za'atar; season with salt and pepper.
