Description
A cozy casserole that transforms the classic chicken and waffles combo into a hands-off, shareable bake, featuring crispy waffle pieces, tender shredded chicken, and gooey melted cheddar.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 4 cups frozen waffles, thawed and cut into pieces
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 6 large eggs
- 2 cups milk
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish. Thaw the frozen waffles and cut them into bite-size pieces. Shred the cooked chicken if needed.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, maple syrup, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until smooth and slightly frothy.
- In the greased baking dish, layer half of the waffle pieces, then half of the shredded chicken, and half of the cheddar. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the casserole.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the custard is set and the top is golden brown. Let cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving warm.
Notes
Serve warm with extra maple syrup, hot sauce, or chopped green onions. Pairs well with a simple green salad or roasted vegetables.
