Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius). In a bowl, mix together all the chicken marinade ingredients. Add the chicken strips and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. While the chicken marinates, prepare the tzatziki sauce. In a separate bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber (squeezed dry), lemon juice, olive oil, grated garlic, dill, salt, and pepper. Stir well and set aside.
  3. On a large baking sheet, toss the sliced bell peppers with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt. Spread them out in a single layer. On a second baking sheet, arrange the marinated chicken strips in a single layer.
  4. Roast both baking sheets in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink, and the peppers are tender and slightly browned.
  5. Serve the roasted chicken and peppers with the tzatziki sauce, diced cucumber, red onion, kalamata olives, and feta cheese. Assemble in pita bread or serve as bowls.
