It’s a breakfast, it’s a dinner…it’s a Wafflewich (Waffle Sandwich), and kids love ‘em! Serve my Chicken Waffle Sandwich with a fruit salad for breakfast or dinner.
Ingredients
  • Bacon (1 slice of bacon per Wafflewich)
  • Frozen Breaded Chicken Breast Tenders or Homemade Chicken Breast Tenders (1 Chicken Breast Tender per Wafflewich)
  • Waffles (frozen or homemade*) (2 waffles per Wafflewich)
  • Syrup
Instructions
  1. Cook bacon (I’m a fan of mess-free oven cooked bacon: place bacon on foil lined baking sheet, bake at 400 for 20 minutes or until crisp, drain on paper towels)
  2. Prepare Chicken Breast Tenders according to package directions or prepare homemade Chicken Breast Tenders.
  3. Make homemade waffles or toast frozen waffles.
  4. Place 1 slice of bacon on a waffle.
  5. Top with 1 cooked Chicken Breast Tender, drizzle with syrup and top with the other waffle.
  6. Enjoy your Wafflewich!
Notes
If you’re making homemade waffles, make extra to freeze. Your kids can pop them in the toaster just like the ones in the box. Cost to make 8 homemade waffles: less than 50ยข, cost of a box of frozen waffles: $2.50.

    That’s an innovative way for me to use my waffle maker that’s still unopened since Christmas! WOOT! Thanks for the neat share.

    or you could take a short cut and use frozen waffles!

    I came up with this dinner idea to use up some items, and it was a total hit! Wafflewichs are now a regular menu item in our house!

    I love this! I’m a big fan of breakfast for dinner, and I cannot wait to try this. (I’d actually add it to the weekly ideas) Thanks so much sharing. Can’t wait to browse and see what else I find here! :-)
