Ingredients Needed to Make Waffles and Chicken
Get started on making the Big Family Sheet Pan Chicken and Waffles with some of the following ingredients:
- Chicken. You will need boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into strips. You can also buy pre-sliced chicken tenders.
- Buttermilk. Use the buttermilk as a dip for your chicken to get the crispy coating to stick to it.
- Flour. Dip your drenched chicken into the flour to create the perfect coating.
- Frozen Waffles. Use any brand of frozen waffles that you personally prefer. You can also make your own waffles. Here are more waffle recipes.
Besides these ingredients, you will simply need some salt and pepper for seasoning.
Can I Use Any Frozen Waffles?
You can use any brand and type of frozen waffles (or make your own!). For example, you can use blueberry, strawberry, or even chocolate chip waffles. The sweet taste of these extras will still taste great with the breaded, crispy chicken. Of course, you can keep it simple and use traditional buttermilk waffles. Check out all my pancake and waffle recipes.
You might even want to try using pancakes instead of waffles. Try sheet pan berry pancakes, Red Velvet Pancakes, Sheet Pan Pancakes, Pumpkin Pancakes, Blueberry pancakes, and Chocolate Chip Pancakes.
What to Add to Your Sheet Pan Chicken and Waffles
Once you have prepared the Sheet Pan Chicken and Waffles and are ready to serve it to your loved ones, you may want to add some toppings to it. The chicken and waffles will taste great with syrup drizzled on top. You can use maple syrup or any other type of syrup that you would normally put on waffles and pancakes. Besides syrup, other toppings for this meal include powdered sugar and raw honey, both of which can add a sweet touch to your breakfast meal.
What to Serve with the Chicken and Waffles
The Sheet Pan Chicken and Waffles meal is fulfilling enough without any extras. However, if you would like to go all out, this meal will taste great with a side of baked eggs and cheesy hashbrowns. You may even want to serve it with a side of fresh fruit, such as sliced strawberries, chopped pineapples, and diced mangoes.
How to Store Chicken and Waffles
When storing leftovers, separate the chicken from the waffles. Place the waffles in a plastic food storage bag and seal it shut. Put the chicken in a food storage container with a lid. Put both the waffles and the chicken in the fridge to keep them fresh for three days. When reheating, you can microwave the waffles, but it is best to put the chicken back in the oven for several minutes to bring back the crispy texture.
