Healthy Breaded Chicken & Waffles
Lean chicken breast tenderloins and thick waffles make for a very filling breakfast. You can use maple syrup on the waffles or some light seasoning on the chicken to make it taste even better.
Equipment
- 1 large oven-resistant bowl
- 1 oven mitten
Ingredients
- 1 lbs chicken breast tenderloins
- 1 cup bread crumbs
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 frozen/homemade waffles
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- any light seasonings ex. garlic powder/onion powder
- maple syrup optional
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Take out your fully thawed chicken tenders. If they are not fully thawed, leave them under warm running water for about 5 minutes.
- Place a large ceramic bowl on a table and lubricate the inside with olive oil (not extra virgin).
- Place one pound of chicken on the oil, and turn it over both sides so it gets covered in olive oil.
- Sprinkle all seasonings, salt, and pepper on both sides. After this, cover both sides in bread crumbs.
- Place the chicken in your preheated oven. It should take around 25-30 minutes to bake golden-brown. Use the toothpick test to check the tenders if you are unsure.
- Remove the chicken tenders after they finish baking, and place them on a table. Take out 2 frozen waffles and pop them in your toaster, or make fresh ones from scratch using a waffle maker.
- Once the waffles are warmed, and the chicken cools off, serve them on a dish with your favorite selection of delicious toppings.
