Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 7x9 inch or 8x8 inch casserole dish with cooking spray.
- Toast waffles. You can use the toaster or put them on a baking sheet in the oven for 2-3 minutes while it preheats. Dice the waffles into bite-size pieces.
- Dice the chicken into 1-inch pieces. If it is too hard to cut the frozen chicken, microwave it for 30 seconds first.
- Arrange the waffle pieces in the baking dish. Add the chicken pieces, spreading them out so they are mixed together.
- Whisk the eggs, milk, and maple syrup in a mixing bowl. Add a pinch of salt or some cinnamon if you like. Pour the egg mixture over the chicken and waffle pieces in the casserole dish.
- Bake at 350 F for 50-60 minutes, until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown.
- Let it cool slightly before serving with extra maple syrup.
Notes
- Any cooked, fried chicken pieces, like breaded chicken strips, chicken tenders, or chicken nuggets, will work for this recipe.
- Don't skip toasting the waffles. The egg doesn't soak into the waffles if they are frozen.
- Use real maple syrup: The thin pancake syrup you get at the grocery store doesn't compare!
- This casserole works best when the chicken and waffles are spread out in a layer with room for the egg mixture to soak in between. Use a 9x13-inch baking dish if you are doubling the recipe.
