Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Once the waffles are done, cut each waffle into six bite-sized pieces and set aside.

Add the waffle pieces and chicken to the baking dish, spreading them out evenly.

Pour the egg mixture over the contents of the dish. Use a brush or spoon to drizzle or lightly coat the top with maple syrup.

Cover the dish with aluminum foil.

Bake for 50 minutes on the center oven rack, or until the egg mixture is fully set and the top is golden brown.
-
Remove from the oven and serve warm with additional syrup, butter, or powdered sugar, if desired.
