Transfer the chicken to a platter and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Slice thinly across the grain.
Spread 1/4 of the tzatziki sauce on one side of the pita. Repeat with remaining pita bread.
Arrange the lettuce, chicken, onion, tomato and cucumber on the pita. Sprinkle with the feta cheese.
Fold the pita around the filling and serve immediately.
