Ingredients

Scale

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

Instructions

  • 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.
