    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a large rimmed sheet pan.

    In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper.

    Add the chicken strips, red onion wedges, and bell pepper strips to the bowl and toss until everything is thoroughly coated in the marinade.

    Spread the chicken and vegetable mixture in a single layer across the prepared sheet pan.

  5. 5

    Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.

    During the last 2 minutes of cooking, place the pita breads directly on the oven rack to warm them through.

    Remove the pan from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley and feta cheese if desired.

    Assemble the gyros by stuffing the warm pitas with the roasted chicken and vegetables, then topping generously with tzatziki sauce.
