Chicken & Waffle Casserole

Healthy Fact of the Day

Use whole grain waffles and lean chicken breast to increase fiber and protein while reducing saturated fat. Opt for pure maple syrup to keep added sugar minimal and natural.

Tender shredded chicken and crispy waffle pieces are combined with eggs, milk, and maple syrup, then baked until golden and set. It’s comfort food at its finest—bringing together the best of breakfast and dinner in one satisfying dish that feeds a crowd.

    • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

    Tip of the Day

    “Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

    Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!

    A pizza-and-bread combo can pack in a fair amount of refined carbs and sodium in one sitting, especially with dipping sauce added on top. To round things out, consider pairing the combo with a side salad or a piece of fruit to add some fiber, and going easy on the dipping sauce rather than using the full portion with every bite.

    Cantonese BBQ Brisket Is Back at Panda Express After Selling Out Earlier This Summer

    Pairing a high-protein entrée with the right sides can help round out a more balanced meal. Consider choosing a vegetable-based side like mixed veggies instead of fried rice or chow mein to add fiber without extra refined carbs, and opting for a bowl over a plate if you’re looking to manage overall portion size while still getting the full protein benefit of the entrée.

    Wendy’s Halloween Kids’ Meal Is Back — And Adults Are Ordering It Too

    Kids’ meals are portioned smaller than adult entrées, which can actually make them a reasonable option for a lighter meal or a snack-sized treat. To keep things balanced, consider pairing the meal with a side of apple bites instead of fries, choosing a lower-sugar beverage like milk or water over a fountain drink, and treating the Frosty as a dessert to enjoy on its own rather than adding it on top of a larger meal.
