Have I got an amazing burger for you! Like, knock your socks off totally delicious.
I love a good burger. I don’t think there’s another food out there that can hit the spot quite like a burger can on a hot summer evening. This burger plus a side salad, some bbq chips and a diet coke made me a very happy woman last week.
Ok, let me break this recipe down for you. {It’s hard to tell what is going on with all that melted ooey gooey cheese up on top of that chicken!}
Take some chicken breasts and pound them out so they are all of even thickness. Rub on some garlic salt, pepper and olive oil and grill. Once you flip them, top with lots of marinara, mozzarella and parmesan. {Don’t skimp on the cheese!} Toast up some kaiser rolls, spread with butter and rub with a garlic clove. {Don’t skimp on the butter!} Put the chicken ‘patty’ on the warm & toasty garlic bread and top with more marinara and fresh basil. {Don’t skimp on the marinara!}
Are you seeing a theme?
I’m not gonna lie. I thoroughly enjoyed every last bite of this burger. And so did my husband. I even made more garlic bread rolls that evening for a snack. Yeah, I haven’t been able to stop thinking about that.
My name is Lauren and I am addicted to garlic bread.
Seriously.
If you’ve never had toasted bread of any kind slathered with hideous amounts of butter and then rubbed with garlic you haven’t lived.
Amen.
Basically, this burger made my life last Thursday night and it quite possibly could make yours.
Hope you all have a great weekend! And don’t forget to check out my boards on Pinterest! And if you need an invite, contact me and I’ll send one your way!
