Ready in:25min
- Preheat an outdoor barbecue for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grid.
- Mix the chicken, breadcrumbs, egg, lemon juice, sun-dried tomatoes, basil, oregano, salt and pepper together in a bowl; form the mixture into 5 burgers. Divide the feta cheese between the 5 burgers; place a portion of the feta cheese atop each burger and fold the chicken mixture around the cheese so that the cheese is in the centre.
- Cook on the preheated barbecue until no longer pink on the inside and the juices run clear, 5 to 7 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the centre should read 75 degrees C.
Alternative cooking methods

Very particular and sharp flavour...my husband loved it!!! - 15 Jan 2011
I'm not sure why they took off my recommendation when I posted the recipe - I suggested serving them with a roasted red pepper sauce, but tzatziki or something similar would be just as good. Definitely better with some sort of sauce though, I agree! - 02 Aug 2009 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
Oh my goodness!! Delicious! I love allrecipes.com and use it all the time, but this was the first recipe to make me right a review. These burgers had so much flavor! I was a little worried because I made them for a group of 12, but after eating them, I printed out the recipe for everyone per request. A few minor changes: I used more breadcrumbs, and before throwing them on bbq, I fried on a skillet with minimal oil to get them nice and firm so they wouldn't fall through the grill. I served with "Easy Greek Yogurt Cucumber Sauce" from this site, and it was an A+ dinner that I will continue to make for the rest of my life!
