About Chicken maryland

Chicken Maryland is a classic dish that originates from the United States, particularly tied to Maryland's regional cuisine. It typically features breaded and fried chicken paired with a cream-based gravy, often served alongside corn, mashed potatoes, or biscuits. The dish combines rich, hearty flavors with a satisfying texture. While traditional preparation emphasizes indulgence, the fried element increases its fat and calorie content, making it less ideal for health-conscious diets. However, Chicken Maryland can be adapted for healthier options by oven-baking instead of frying or using whole-grain breadcrumbs and low-fat cream for the gravy. The chicken itself is a good source of lean protein, providing essential nutrients like B vitamins, iron, and zinc. A balanced approach to preparation and portion control can allow this dish to fit into a variety of dietary lifestyles while celebrating its comforting, Southern roots.
