For a graph $H$ and an integer $kge1$, the $k$-color Ramsey number $R_k(H)$ is the least integer $N$ such that every $k$-coloring of the edges of the complete graph $K_N$ contains a monochromatic copy of $H$. Let $C_m$ denote the cycle on $mge4$ vertices and let $Theta_m$ denote the family of graphs obtained from $C_m$ by adding an additional edge joining two non-consecutive vertices. Unlike Ramsey number of odd cycles, little is known about the general behavior of $R_k(C_{2n})$ except that $R_k(C_{2n})ge (n-1)k+n+k-1$ for all $kge2$ and $nge2$. In this paper, we study Ramsey number of even cycles with chords under Gallai colorings, where a Gallai coloring is a coloring of the edges of a complete graph without rainbow triangles. For an integer $kgeq 1$, the Gallai-Ramsey number $GR_k(H)$ of a graph $H$ is the least positive integer $N$ such that every Gallai $k$-coloring of the complete graph $K_N$ contains a monochromatic copy of $H$. We prove that $GR_k(Theta_{2n})=(n-1)k+n+1$ for all $kgeq 2$ and $ngeq 3$. This implies that $GR_k(C_{2n})=(n-1)k+n+1$ all $kgeq 2$ and $ngeq 3$. Our result yields a unified proof for the Gallai-Ramsey number of all even cycles on at least four vertices.
