Ingredients
2 cups cooked and shredded chicken (rotisserie or boiled)
1 cup pancake mix
1 cup water
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
¼ teaspoon onion powder (optional)
¼ teaspoon paprika (optional)
¼ cup maple syrup (for serving)
Tools
Waffle maker
stick Lollipop or Skewers
Directions
Step 1
Prepare the Chicken: Cook the chicken thoroughly and shred it into small pieces. You can use rotisserie chicken or boiled chicken breasts.
Step 2
Preheat Waffle Iron: Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Step 3
Mix the Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the store-bought pancake mix, water, vegetable oil, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Stir until well combined, but avoid overmixing; some lumps are okay.
Step 4
Make Waffle Lollipops: Grease the preheated waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray. Place a small amount of the batter onto the center of the waffle iron. Add a spoonful of shredded chicken on top of the batter. Cover the chicken with a little more batter to encase it fully. Insert a wooden lollipop stick or skewer into the middle of the waffle, making sure it is securely held by the batter.
Step 5
Cook the Lollipops: Close the waffle iron and cook until the waffle is golden brown and cooked through. Cooking times may vary based on your waffle iron, but it usually takes 2-3 minutes. Carefully remove the waffle lollipops from the iron and place them on a wire rack to cool slightly. Repeat the process for the remaining batter and chicken.
Step 6
Serve: Once the waffle lollipops have cooled slightly, you can serve them with a small bowl of warm maple syrup for dipping.
