Ingredients

1 lb fried chicken, strips or popcorn- cut into 1" chunks
6-8 frozen Belgian waffles cut into 1" cubes
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
6 large eggs
1 1/4 cups half and half
1/4 cup maple syrup
salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

Spray a casserole dish with non stick cooking spray. Layer 1/2 the chicken, then 1/2 the waffles, and half the cheese. Repeat.
1 lb fried chicken,, 6-8 frozen Belgian waffles, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, half & half, maple syrup, and salt & pepper, to taste- until the mixture's smooth and evenly incorporated.
6 large eggs, 1 1/4 cups half and half, 1/4 cup maple syrup, salt & pepper
Slowly pour the mixture evenly out over the casserole. Cover the mixture tightly with syran wrap and refrigerate for an hour.
Bake the casserole for 45 minutes at 325 degrees. Remove from the oven, and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Serve drizzled with maple syrup (optional).

Notes

If you use homemade fried chicken, make sure it is boneless and cut it into 1" pieces.
Don't skip the refrigeration time. You want to give the waffles and breading on the fried chicken a chance to soak in the egg mixture.
If the eggs aren't set after 45 minutes, bake the casserole until the eggs set.
Make sure to let the casserole rest after baking it before you slice and serve it so it has a chance to set up a bit.
