Indulge in savory BBQ chicken and cornbread waffle stacks for a quick, flavor-packed dinner. Experience crispy, smoky, and gooey goodness in every bite!
Ingredients
- • boneless, skinless chicken thighs: 1 lb
- • barbecue sauce: 1 cup
- • cornbread mix: 1 package (enough for 4 waffles)
- • cheddar cheese, shredded: 1 cup
- • green onions, chopped: 1/4 cup
- • butter: 2 tablespoons
- • eggs: 2
- • milk: 1 cup
- • salt: 1/2 teaspoon
- • black pepper: 1/2 teaspoon
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your waffle maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- 2 In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper, and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side.
- 3 Once the chicken is cooked, shred it using two forks and return it to the skillet. Add the barbecue sauce and stir to coat the chicken evenly. Reduce heat to low and let it simmer while you prepare the waffles.
- 4 In a mixing bowl, combine the cornbread mix, eggs, milk, and remaining butter. Whisk until smooth.
- 5 Pour the cornbread batter into the preheated waffle maker and cook until golden brown and crispy. Repeat until all the batter is used.
- 6 To assemble the stacks, place a cornbread waffle on each plate, top with a generous portion of BBQ chicken, sprinkle with cheddar cheese, and garnish with chopped green onions.
Serving Suggestions
- • These savory stacks are perfect served with a simple side salad of mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, and a light vinaigrette to balance out the richness of the dish. For a refreshing beverage pairing, consider serving with a cold glass of iced tea or a crisp lager to complement the smoky barbecue flavors. If you're in the mood for something sweet, a chilled fruit salad would be an excellent dessert choice to finish the meal on a light note.
Storage Tips
To store any leftovers, place the chicken and waffles in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm the chicken in a skillet over low heat until heated through, and re-toast the waffles in a toaster or oven until crispy. Avoid microwaving the waffles to maintain their texture.
