Ingredients

Chicken Mixture

1 lb ground chicken
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 large egg lightly beaten
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper

Optional Toppings

2 tbsp sugar-free maple syrup for drizzling
1 tbsp chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions

Preheat waffle maker and lightly grease with nonstick spray or a bit of olive oil.
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, Parmesan, mozzarella, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well until evenly blended.
Scoop about 1/3 cup of the chicken mixture into each waffle section, spreading evenly. Close the waffle maker and cook for 5–6 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temp 165°F / 74°C).
Carefully remove the chicken “waffles” using tongs and repeat with remaining mixture. Keep cooked waffles warm in a low oven if needed.
Serve hot, garnished with parsley and a drizzle of sugar-free maple syrup, or pair with a dollop of sour cream for a savory option.

Notes

These chicken “waffles” can also be made with ground turkey or topped with keto gravy for a dinner version. They’re high in protein and crisp perfectly without any breading or flour.
