Try this easy Chicken and Waffle Breakfast Casserole recipe—perfect for a savory-sweet meal any time of day.
Ingredients:
24 oz frozen popcorn chicken, thawed slightly
10 frozen waffles
6 large eggs
¾ cup liquid egg whites
1¼ cups milk (skim or preferred variety)
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
½ tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon maple syrup (for brushing the top)
Cooking spray
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Bake the frozen waffles on a sheet pan according to package directions. You can also toast them if preferred.
While the waffles cook, prepare the egg mixture: whisk together the eggs, egg whites, milk, cinnamon, honey (or maple syrup), and salt in a medium mixing bowl.
Once the waffles are done, cut each waffle into six bite-sized pieces and set aside.
Cut the semi-thawed popcorn chicken into roughly 1-inch pieces.
Grease a 9×13 baking dish generously with cooking spray.
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.
