CHICKEN AND WAFFLES CASSEROLE

Chicken and waffles.  Apparently it’s been a thing for at least a century but it’s only become a well known thing around her for the last few years. It’s such an intriguing, soulful dish and boy oh boy, is it ever an amazing combination

With Easter and March break coming up there is ample opportunity to serve my family amazing breakfast and brunches.

I decided to shake it up a little bit and turn chicken and waffles into a dish perfect for serving at brunch by oven frying my fresh Canadian chicken and turning it into a Chicken and Waffles Casserole.  It’s great to make the night before and then just pop it into the oven in time to enjoy for a family brunch.

The best part about this casserole is that the oven fried chicken retains its flavour and crunch, and is so much healthier than traditionally fried chicken.  Mmmm.  So satisfying!

Ingredients:

• Nonstick cooking spray
• 3 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon mustard powder
• 9 large eggs
• 3 cups panko breadcrumbs
• 8 frozen waffles, cubed
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 1/4 cups milk
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• salt
• pepper

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
2. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and spray with the cooking spray.
3. Cut the chicken into 1-inch pieces.
