Eggo waffles are used as the base for this tasty and geeky take on chicken and waffles. Crispy fried chicken, marinara sauce, and melted mozzarella cheese are then added on top.

Ingredients:

• 4 Eggo waffles
• 4 boneless chicken breasts
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 eggs
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 cup marinara sauce
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
• Cooking oil for frying

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350F 175C

Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper

In a shallow bowl, mix flour, salt, and pepper

In another bowl, whisk together eggs and milk

In a third bowl, combine breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese

Dip each chicken breast into the flour mixture, then the egg mixture, and finally the breadcrumb mixture, making sure to coat thoroughly

Heat cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat

Fry the coated chicken breasts until golden brown and cooked through, about 5 minutes per side

Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil

Place Eggo waffles on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes or until they are crispy and warm
