Waffles & Sauce:

4 cups Bisquick

2 cups milk

4 eggs

1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated (plus a little more for garnish)

3/4 cup chives, chopped (plus a little more for garnish)

2 teaspoons black pepper

Spaghetti Sauce, heated

Chicken Parmesan:

1 pound chicken breasts

3/4 cup Bisquick mix

2 tablespoons Italian seasoning

2 heaping tablespoons Parmesan cheese, finely grated

1 egg beaten

2 tablespoons butter, melted

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

 

Start with preparing the Chicken Parmesan:

In one shallow dish (I used a pie plate), combine Bisquick, Italian seasoning and cheese. In a second shallow dish, beat your one egg. Take each chicken breast and dip it first in the Bisquick mix, coating well, then dip it in the egg mix coating both sides, then dip it one more time back in the Bisquick mix.

 

Place chicken on foil lined cookie sheet sprayed with Pam. Brush half of your melted butter over the tops of the chicken and bake 8 minutes. Flip chicken over and brush remaining half of your melted butter on opposite side and finish cooking another 8 minutes. Your chicken should be brown and kind of crispy with the juices running clear.

 

After you flip the chicken, start on the waffles:

In a mixing bowl, combine Bisquick, milk and eggs until combined. Stir in cheese, chives and pepper. Pour batter into hot waffle iron that has been sprayed with Pam and bake until cooked through. (This should make about 4 large waffles depending on your waffle iron.)
