Chicken and Waffles Grilled Cheese Sandwich

May 8, 2018 by Larisha Campbell Leave a Comment

This chicken and waffles grilled cheese sandwich is the ultimate chicken and waffles sandwich. No matter, if you’ve had the infamous chicken and waffles (with hot sauce or gravy depending on your location), you’ll want to dive into this grilled cheese sandwich immediately! 

It’s Gourmet Grilled Cheese Week here on our site and we know you are ready for more deliciousness.  We are so excited to jump right into giving you another mouthwatering grilled cheese recipe too.  Today, we present the chicken and waffles grilled cheese recipe.

Now, depending on where you live, you may have chicken and waffles served with hot sauce, or a spicy syrup, or you may have it served with mashed potatoes and gravy. Either way you prefer it, it’s all delicious.  And, if you’re on the fence about trying it, just stop.

Chicken and Waffles may sound like an odd combination, but really it’s not. Sweet bread and deliciously fried chicken go hand in hand. Even syrup drizzled across the chicken is a delicious idea…I PROMISE…I would never lie to you guys.

HOW TO MAKE A CHICKEN AND WAFFLES GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICH RECIPE

This chicken and waffles grilled cheese recipe takes two Belgian waffles (we use this waffle maker) and cooks them in a skillet with butter for a few minutes. Then, in between them layers a copious amount of mozzarella cheese, fried chicken tenders, crispy bacon, lettuce, and our own honey mustard BBQ sauce. Once layered, we put this grilled cheese in the oven and bake until it’s all warm and has melty, gooey, cheese. After that, you want to cut it in half down the middle, making two sandwiches. Serve alongside maple syrup for dipping. It was so delicious and a must try for everyone.

What is a good side dish for chicken and waffles?

While we believe that this grilled cheese sandwich could be served entirely on it’s own, we know some may want some ideas for sides that would be great on this!

  • Homemade French Fries (Try dipping them in our Honey Mustard BBQ Sauce)
  • Hoppin’ John 
  • Crunchy Kale Chips
  • Sauted Green and Onions 
  • Sweet Potato and Kohlrabi Fries (with a Spicy Roasted Red Pepper Mayo Dip)
  • Easy Coleslaw Recipe

No matter what you decide to serve alongside it, this is one of the best grilled cheese recipes that you are going to find around.

Spreading + Peanut Butter Jelly Spider Sandwiches

The Seasoned Kids

Lesson 4: Spreading

Making a PB&J is one of the first things that most kids know how to make on their own. It’s a great way to build confidence in their learning ability in the kitchen with something that a majority of kids love to eat. There’s no hot ingredients, you don’t have to use any sharp utensils, and it’s a fairly easy task, even for a kid as young as 2 or 3 years old.

How to Start

The main task here is spreading. It’s a critical skill to not only learn in the kitchen, but also for their physical development. It teaches hand-eye coordination and helps with muscle movement as well. It’s funny how tasks like these as adults seem like no big deal, but for a small child, it’s critically important and a huge learning activity.

We prefer to pour out the ingredients ahead of time so that our little one doesn’t get carried away.  If she has an entire jar of jelly in front of her, she will keep wanting to get more out.  In the beginning, this does create more dishes; however, it causes less meltdowns (and we all want less meltdowns).

Tips for teaching your kids to spread

  • Use a learning tower to get them stable at the counter
    • Standing on a stool or sitting on the counter, doesn’t stabilize kids as much as a tower will
  • Use a spoon in the beginning
    • Instead of giving them a butter knife, use the back of a spoon. It will not only help them grab the jelly easier, but it will also spread easier
  • As they get older move onto an appetizer spreader, then a plastic knife, then a butter knife.
    • We recommend a butter knife last because of it’s weight and length, it can be a bit awkward for most children.
  • After mastering a PB&J, you can move on to teaching bigger things like how to spread pizza sauce on pizza dough or spread frosting on cakes
