If you make this be aware that you’ll want to do it again. It’s quite moreish, that’s why I did two pieces of Chicken Maryland. It fits nicely too with just one bread roll. The best part is that the bread toasts and becomes crispy with the chicken fat and cheesy goodness in the oven.

This is a perfect meal for when you come home and need to do other things while a quick and easy meal is cooking.

Earlier today, being pay day, I had a raspberry hazelnut meringue torte from Urban Bean Espresso Bar for my lunch.

The Courtney burger

Last week I posted about The Courtney, aka a chicken schnitzel with Hollandaise sauce. Tonight I made The Courtney burger! This delicious burger is simply a chicken thigh schnitzel fried in butter and served with Hollandaise sauce on a hamburger bread roll. I’ve added some raw onion and iceberg lettuce for crunch. The bread roll has also been lightly toasted to add a crunchy mouth feel.
