Chicken

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded This is the star of the dish, providing protein and savory goodness.
4 cups frozen waffles, thawed and cut into quarters These add a delightful sweetness and texture to the casserole.
4 large eggs Eggs bind the ingredients together and create a fluffy texture.
2 cups milk Milk adds creaminess and helps soak the waffles.
1 teaspoon vanilla extract This enhances the sweetness and flavor profile.
1 teaspoon cinnamon A warm spice that complements both chicken and waffles.
1/2 teaspoon salt This balances the flavors and enhances the overall taste.
1/4 cup maple syrup, plus extra for serving Maple syrup adds a sweet touch that ties everything together.
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese Cheese adds richness and a savory element.
1/2 cup cooked and crumbled bacon (optional) For those who love a smoky flavor, bacon is a delicious addition.

Prepare the chicken by cooking and shredding it into bite-sized pieces.
