Gluten-Free JOC Appetizer - Chicken and Waffle Sliders

Ingredients:

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken tenders
1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon gluten-free garlic powder
1 teaspoon gluten-free paprika
Salt and gluten-free black pepper to taste
2 large eggs
1 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs
8 gluten-free mini waffles (store-bought or homemade)
Maple syrup for drizzling

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a shallow bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, gluten-free garlic powder, gluten-free paprika, salt, and gluten-free black pepper.

In another bowl, beat the eggs.

Dip each chicken tender into the seasoned flour mixture, then into the beaten eggs, and finally into the gluten-free breadcrumbs, pressing to adhere.

Place the breaded chicken tenders on the prepared baking sheet and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and crispy.

While the chicken is baking, prepare the gluten-free mini waffles according to the package instructions or your recipe.

Once the chicken tenders are done, assemble the sliders by placing a chicken tender between two mini waffles.

Drizzle with maple syrup and serve immediately.

These gluten-free Chicken and Waffle Sliders make for a fun and delicious appetizer or snack! Enjoy!
