Ingredients in Chicken & Potato Waffle Stacks
What you will need
Chicken: Use boneless, skinless chicken breast cut into small pieces. It cooks fast, stays tender, and works well with the spices and melted cheese.
Grated Cheese: Mozzarella is ideal for a stretchy melt, but cheddar or a cheese blend also works great. Use freshly grated cheese for the best texture.
Butter: Butter adds flavor and helps the potatoes get a golden, crispy crust in the waffle maker.
Olive Oil: Just a little oil helps the spices stick to the chicken and keeps it juicy while cooking.
Smoked Paprika: Gives the chicken a warm color and a deeper, smoky flavor.
Dried Garlic: Adds aroma and enhances the taste of both the chicken and potatoes.
Dried Onion: Gives a subtle sweetness and balances the seasoning mix.
Salt: Season to taste to bring out all the flavors.
Potatoes (for waffles): Use medium potatoes that hold their shape after boiling.
They become soft inside and crispy outside when pressed in the waffle maker.

Frequently Asked Questions
No. This recipe uses whole boiled potatoes. Simply place one peeled, boiled potato directly into the waffle maker with a bit of butter and press until crispy and golden. The waffle maker does all the work.
Mozzarella and cheddar are both great options. Mozzarella gives a stretchy, mild melt, while cheddar adds a richer, sharper flavor. You can also mix the two for extra depth.
Yes. Chicken thighs work well if you prefer juicier meat. Just cut them into small pieces and cook thoroughly, as they may need a slightly longer cooking time than chicken breast.
