Ingredients
- 10 frozen Belgian waffles cubed - We used Eggo
- 25 ounces frozen breaded chicken strips chopped into bite-sized pieces (1 package)
- 2-3 tablespoons honey optional
- 8 large eggs
- ¾ cup whole milk
- ⅓ cup pure maple syrup not pancake syrup
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted and slightly cooled (¼ stick)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon optional
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- Cooked crumbled bacon optional, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter a 9x13-inch casserole dish, or spray with nonstick spray; set aside.
- Place the waffles on chicken on two baking sheets (or 1 if they'll fit!). Bake the waffles for about 7 minutes, until softened. Remove them from the oven and cut them into cubes when cool enough to handle.
- Continue cooking the chicken for another 8-10 minutes, then remove.
- To the baking dish, add a single layer of chopped waffles. Top with half of the chicken pieces. Layer the remaining waffles and chicken. Drizzle with honey, if using.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, maple syrup, butter, cinnamon (if using), and salt until well combined. Slowly pour the egg mixture evenly over the casserole, pressing down to ensure it’s all soaked in (almost like a bread pudding).
- Bake for 45-60 minutes. Serve with crumbled bacon and additional maple syrup.

Notes
