Crispy Chicken and Hash Brown Waffles

Absolutely nothing beats the comfort of combining breakfast and dinner into one glorious meal, and that’s exactly what Crispy Chicken and Hash Brown Waffles offer. I remember the first time I tried this dish at a cozy diner in Nashville; it was love at first bite, and I’ve been perfecting my version ever since.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (for a lighter waffle, you can substitute half with cake flour)
- 1 tbsp baking powder (ensure it’s fresh for the fluffiest waffles)
- 1 tsp salt (I prefer sea salt for its subtle crunch)
- 2 large eggs, room temperature (cold eggs can make the batter lumpy)
- 1 1/2 cups milk (whole milk gives the richest flavor)
- 1/3 cup melted butter (or any neutral oil, but butter adds depth)
- 2 cups shredded hash browns (thawed if frozen, to remove excess moisture)
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (breasts work too, but thighs stay juicier)
- 1 cup buttermilk (for marinating the chicken, adds tenderness)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (for dredging the chicken)
- 1 tbsp paprika (smoked paprika adds a nice kick)
- Oil for frying (peanut oil is my go-to for its high smoke point)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups flour, baking powder, and salt. This ensures your waffles are light and airy.
- Add eggs, milk, and melted butter to the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; overmixing leads to tough waffles.
- Fold in the shredded hash browns gently. This adds texture and makes the waffles crispy on the outside.
- Preheat your waffle iron to medium-high and cook the batter according to your iron’s instructions, usually about 5 minutes, until golden and crispy.
- While the waffles cook, marinate the chicken thighs in buttermilk for at least 10 minutes. This step is crucial for juicy chicken.
- In a separate bowl, mix 1 cup flour with paprika. Dredge the marinated chicken in this mixture, ensuring an even coat.
- Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pan to 375°F. Fry the chicken for about 6 minutes per side, until golden and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Serve the crispy chicken on top of the hash brown waffles immediately. The contrast between the crunchy chicken and soft, savory waffles is divine.
Zesty, savory, and utterly satisfying, this dish is a testament to the magic of combining textures and flavors. For an extra touch, drizzle with maple syrup or hot sauce before serving to elevate the dish to new heights.

- Let the quesadillas sit for a minute before cutting into wedges. This helps the cheese set slightly for cleaner slices.
Last night’s dinner transformed into today’s brunch hero, these quesadillas offer a delightful crunch from the hash browns against the creamy, cheesy interior. Serve them with a side of sour cream and salsa for dipping, or get creative with a drizzle of chipotle mayo for an extra kick.
Savory Chicken and Hash Brown Muffins

Craving something hearty yet easy to make for breakfast? I stumbled upon this recipe for Savory Chicken and Hash Brown Muffins during one of those lazy Sunday mornings when I wanted something more exciting than my usual cereal. It’s a game-changer for meal prep or a quick grab-and-go option.
Ingredients
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken (leftover rotisserie chicken works great)
- 3 cups frozen hash browns, thawed (squeeze out excess moisture for crispier muffins)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (sharp cheddar adds more flavor)
- 2 large eggs (room temperature blends better)
- 1/4 cup milk (whole milk for richness, but any works)
- 1 tbsp olive oil (or any neutral oil)
- 1/2 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 tsp black pepper (freshly ground preferred)
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder (for a hint of flavor)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil.
- In a large bowl, combine the thawed hash browns, shredded chicken, and cheddar cheese.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until well blended.
- Pour the egg mixture over the hash brown mixture and stir until everything is evenly coated.
- Divide the mixture evenly among the prepared muffin cups, pressing down lightly to compact.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the tops are set.
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack.
Perfectly golden and crispy on the outside, these muffins are wonderfully soft and flavorful inside. Try serving them with a dollop of sour cream or your favorite hot sauce for an extra kick.
Chicken and Hash Brown Shepherd’s Pie

Every now and then, I stumble upon a dish that perfectly combines comfort with a twist, and that’s exactly how I felt when I first made Chicken and Hash Brown Shepherd’s Pie. It’s a hearty, satisfying meal that brings together the classic flavors of shepherd’s pie with the crispy, golden goodness of hash browns, and it’s become a regular in my dinner rotation.
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (leftover rotisserie chicken works great)
- 1 package (20 oz) frozen hash browns, thawed (or freshly grated potatoes for extra crispiness)
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, and corn blend is my go-to)
- 1/2 cup chicken broth (low-sodium preferred to control saltiness)
- 1/2 cup sour cream (light or full-fat, depending on your preference)
- 1 tbsp olive oil (or any neutral oil for sautéing)
- 1 tsp garlic powder (adjust to taste for more or less garlic flavor)
- 1/2 tsp salt (adjust based on the saltiness of your chicken and broth)
- 1/4 tsp black pepper (freshly ground for the best flavor)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (sharp cheddar adds a nice tang)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking.
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Add the thawed hash browns, spreading them evenly. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the bottom is golden brown, then flip and cook the other side for another 5 minutes. Tip: Pressing down on the hash browns with a spatula helps them crisp up.
- Transfer the cooked hash browns to a 9-inch pie dish, pressing them down to form a crust. Set aside.
- In the same skillet, combine the shredded chicken, mixed vegetables, chicken broth, sour cream, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook over medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is heated through and well combined. Tip: If the mixture seems too dry, add a little more broth.
- Pour the chicken mixture over the hash brown crust in the pie dish, spreading it evenly.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top of the chicken mixture.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden. Tip: For an extra crispy top, broil for the last 2-3 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
Cheesy, creamy, and with a satisfying crunch from the hash brown crust, this Chicken and Hash Brown Shepherd’s Pie is a delightful twist on the classic. Serve it with a simple green salad to balance the richness, or enjoy it as is for the ultimate comfort food experience.

Lemon Pepper Chicken with Hash Brown Risotto

Remember those lazy Sunday mornings when you just want something comforting yet a bit fancy for brunch? That’s exactly how I felt when I first whipped up this Lemon Pepper Chicken with Hash Brown Risotto. It’s a dish that brings together the zestiness of lemon pepper and the creamy, comforting texture of risotto, but with a fun twist using hash browns.
Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb total)
- 1 tbsp lemon pepper seasoning (adjust to taste)
- 2 cups frozen hash browns (thawed for better texture)
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (freshly grated melts better)
- 2 cups chicken broth (low sodium preferred)
- 1 tbsp olive oil (or any neutral oil)
- 1/4 cup heavy cream (for richness, can substitute with half-and-half)
- 1 tbsp butter (unsalted to control saltiness)
- 1 clove garlic (minced, for a hint of aroma)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the chicken later.
- Season the chicken breasts evenly with the lemon pepper seasoning on both sides. Tip: Let them sit for 5 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden but not fully cooked through. Tip: Don’t overcrowd the pan to get a good sear.
- Remove the chicken and set aside. In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Add the thawed hash browns to the skillet, stirring occasionally, until they start to brown, about 5 minutes.
- Gradually add chicken broth, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring frequently until absorbed before adding more. Tip: This method mimics the risotto technique for creamy results.
- Once all broth is absorbed and hash browns are tender, stir in heavy cream and Parmesan cheese until well combined.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, nestling it into the hash brown mixture. Transfer to the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
The chicken comes out juicy with a vibrant lemon pepper kick, while the hash brown risotto is luxuriously creamy with a slight crisp from the oven. Try serving it with a side of steamed asparagus for a pop of color and freshness.
