When the burgers are cooked, slice the foccacia buns in half and slightly toast them. Place a spoonful of Greek yogurt on the bottom piece of each foccacia, and arrange some salad leaves and cucumber slices on top. Next, place a chicken burger on top of each bun. Cover the burgers with a heaped tablespoonful of the black olive pesto. Place a few onion slices on top, and finally place the top piece of foccacia on. Serve the lemon and rosemary chicken burgers with chunky fries and a salad.
