The Canuck Cluck Grilled Chicken Burger

Prep Time: 10 min
Cook Time: 20 min
Serves: 4

This chicken burger was inspired by the flavours and ingredients in Greek salad. The more adventurous types can add black olives and green pepper. The red and white in the tomatoes, red onion, and feta cheese make this a colourful, patriotic Canada Day meal.
