These mini chicken and waffle bites make the perfect easy breakfast and even doubles as a delicious appetizer!

One of my new favorite things to do is to take recipes that I love and create easy, kid-friendly versions of them. As a result, these insanely easy Chicken and Waffle Bites are probably one of the easiest, yet most versatile recipes that you can make for your little ones (or yourself).

They are ready from start to finish in less than 10 minutes and are made with frozen mini waffles and chicken nuggets! If you’re anything like me, you probably always have these ingredients on hand and therefore can whip up these mini Chicken and Waffle Bites at any time!

Needless to say, this recipe is perfect for picky eaters and busy moms alike! Be sure to check out these Toddler Meal Ideas for more easy kid-friendly recipes!

These Chicken and Waffle Bites are also 5 ingredients or less (3 ingredients to be exact!), and you can easily make it your own by adding them to a breakfast charcuterie board or allowing your little ones to turn them into min chicken and waffle sandwiches!

So without further ado, here is what you need to make these yummy Chicken and Waffle Bites:

• Mini Waffles
• Chicken Nuggets
• Maple Syrup
• Parsley (optional)

Once you have all of your ingredients prepped and ready to go, assembling these Chicken and Waffle Bites is pretty easy! Simply cook both your mini waffles and chicken nuggets for the recommended time and setting listed on the packaging. I personally love the extra flavor that we get when using the mini cinnamon toast waffles but the classic homestyle mini waffles are also a great option!

Once your ingredients are done cooking, it’s time to assemble your mini chicken and waffle bites! Simply place the waffle on the bottom as the base and add the chicken nugget to the top. I like to secure them with a toothpick but I definitely recommend skipping the toothpick or using a more kid-friendly option like these if you are making these for your little one!

Once done, top with maple syrup or put the maple syrup in a small dish to the side for easy dipping!

PRO TIP: Sprinkle a little parsley on top for some extra razzle dazzle!

Besides the fact that they are absolutely delicious, this recipe is a personal favorite since it can be served at any time of day! So it’s perfect for those nights when you don’t feel like cooking, but also in the mornings when you need a breakfast that’s quick and filling!

It’s also a great option as an appetizer for guests and is definitely last-minute mom-friendly haha!

If you happen to make these for yourself and try adding a few chili flakes to your maple syrup for a little bit of spice!

There you have it! Chicken and Waffle Bites that take only minutes to prepare (& even less time to clean up afterward!).

So the next time you need a quick, easy, and delicious breakfast, be sure to whip up some of these mini chicken and waffle bites!
