Ingredients
2/3 cup shredded mozzarella
1/3 cup fresh grated parmesan
1 TB nutritional yeast
1 TB unflavored whey protein isolate
1 large egg
1 large egg white
2 TB sugar free “maple” syrup
2 1/2 oz canned chicken breast
Directions
- Combine the mozzarella, parmesan, nutritional yeast, and whey protein to a food processor and pulse 7-8 times or until the mixture resembles crumbs.
- Add the egg, egg white, and syrup and process until a relatively smooth batter forms.
- Add the chicken and pulse 2-3 times to incorporate the meat.
- Add 1/4 of the batter to a Dash mini or all of the batter to a full size waffle maker and cook until you no longer see steam, approximately 5 minutes.
- Remove to a cooling rack for 2-3 minutes before serving.

Notes
- Nutritional info is based upon a single chaffle. If you don’t over-fill the Dash mini, this recipe will yield four chaffles.
Thank you for sharing. My hubby doesn’t eat chicken so I purchase the cans for myself… this perfect???I’m so excited to try this tomorrow, Saturday! 12/07. I need a food processor! ?
this looks really yummy. Is there an alternative to the whey protein isolate?
You could leave it out, but I’m going to be using it a lot in recipes going forward. It provides lift and structure (creating a more “waffle” like texture). It can also be used as a breading when you’re frying something. If you choose to leave it out, add 1/4 tsp baking powder. Just be aware that it’s going to turn out differently.
I bet this would be extra-insane if WITH the idea of using a rotisserie chicken, you included a bit of the roasted/charred skin 🙂 Oh god…
Just made these and they were amazing!! Used rotisserie chicken breast and it made 5 Chaffles. YUMMY!!!
I adapted this to ingredients on hand – almond flour instead of the yeast and whey – added baking powder and used two full eggs…Wow. Took a full ten minutes to cook in my old Belgian waffler, but so, so good! I love how versatile and forgiving chaffle recipies are.
