But never fret — I have a simplified made-at-home version that calls for easy-to-source ingredients. This is a great breakfast, brunch , or dessert waffle sandwich. Did you know that waffles date back to ancient Greece? By the middle of the 1600 ‘s people were using metal plates with wooden handles to make them, and they were also cooked over a fire.

Cornelius Swarthout was the first person in the US to get a patent for a waffle iron, which turned into National Waffle Day.

Health Benefits of This Breakfast Sandwich

This waffle sandwich is not only delicious but also packed with nutrients. The chicken provides a high-protein source that keeps you full and energized throughout the day. Avocado adds healthy fats, while tomatoes and lettuce bring a dose of vitamins and fiber to your meal. By choosing whole ingredients and controlling the amount of sugar, you can enjoy a balanced breakfast without feeling guilty. For a lighter version, consider using whole wheat flour for the waffles and air-frying the chicken instead of deep-frying. You can also add Greek yogurt or a poached egg to increase the protein content while keeping the meal fresh and wholesome.
