Chicken and waffles are one of those food combinations some people scratch their heads at. Until they’ve tasted it, that is. Because that’s when you realize chicken and waffles make one of the most perfect pairs the world has likely ever seen. Kind of like Cooper® cheese and, well, anything.

Directions

Prepare the Cajun honey butter by combining all ingredients in a small bowl. Chill for 30 minutes while you prepare the sandwiches.
Prepare chicken according to instructions and cut to size of sandwich, if desired. Set aside and keep warm.
Prepare waffles as normal or according to package instructions. Make sure they’re nice and crispy (toast or bake them in the oven a bit if necessary). Set aside and keep warm.
Cook eggs to your preference, fried or scrambled.

ASSEMBLE YOUR SANDWICHES:

Place two waffles on a board or serving tray. Place one of the fried or scrambled eggs on top of each waffle. Add prepared chicken filet or tenders. Add two slices each of Cooper® Sharp cheese, crossed in an X to cover the chicken. Cap with the remaining waffles.
Remove the Cajun honey butter from the fridge, melt it and serve on the side for dunking or drizzle over the top of each sandwich.

Recipe Note

*Consuming raw or undercooked meats, poultry, seafood, shellfish, or eggs may increase your risk of foodborne illness.

**Note - if you prefer your Cooper® cheese a little meltier (who doesn't?), first put the prepared chicken filets or tenders on a microwave safe plate, criss-cross with cheese slices & microwave for 20-30 seconds. Then transfer to the top of the waffle with egg and cap with remaining waffles.
