Ingredients

• 2 large waffles (store-bought or homemade)
• 2 pieces of fried chicken (breast or thigh, cooked)
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• ½ cup milk
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Maple syrup for drizzling (optional)

How to Make Chicken and Waffle Stack

1. If using store-bought waffles, toast them according to the package instructions until golden brown.
2. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for about 1 minute to form a roux.
3. Gradually add the milk to the roux, whisking constantly until the mixture thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
4. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Continue to stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth. Remove from heat.
5. On a plate, stack one waffle, followed by a piece of fried chicken. Top with another waffle and another piece of fried chicken.
6. Drizzle the cheese sauce generously over the stack. If desired, add a drizzle of maple syrup for extra sweetness.
7. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Chicken and Waffle Stack!

Tips for the Best Results

• For extra crispy chicken, double fry the chicken pieces before assembling the stack.
• Use a good quality cheddar cheese for a rich flavor in the cheese sauce.
• Adjust the thickness of the cheese sauce by adding more or less milk to your desired consistency.

Easy Variations

• Substitute fried chicken with grilled chicken for a lighter option.
• Add toppings like crispy bacon or sliced jalapeños for a twist.
• Use different types of cheese, such as pepper jack or gouda, for a unique flavor profile.
• Experiment with flavored waffles, such as buttermilk or cornmeal.

What to Serve With It

• Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing side
• Crispy breakfast potatoes or hash browns
• A side of scrambled eggs or an omelette
• Coffee or freshly squeezed juice to complement the meal
