If you’ve been around my blog for a while, you know that breakfast is not really my thing. I don’t have a ton of breakfast recipes and that’s really because of one thing – I’m not a morning person.

You see, I like breakfast food, but my brain cells are not rubbing together that early in the morning. AM hours leave me seriously on the struggle bus.

But, when I’m on vacation and someone else is doing the cooking, I prefer savory breakfasts. Biscuits and gravy, omelets, etc are all the perfect way to start off a fun filled day.

Two of my all-time favorite breakfast dishes are chicken and waffles and eggs benedict. On one hand, you have a sweet waffle topped with fried chicken and slathered in maple syrup, yum. On the other, there’s an English muffin topped with Canadian bacon, a poached egg, and hollandaise sauce. Both are delicious and I can’t get enough of them.

Since I don’t do breakfast in the morning hours, I’m sharing what I made the other night when we had breakfast for dinner (which we do quite often). For this particular meal, I took my two favorite breakfast dishes and melded them together in order to make the most delicious thing ever, which I’ve called Chicken & Waffle Benedict.

It’s amazing, y’all. A crispy gluten-free waffle is topped with easy-to-make chicken sausage, a perfectly poached egg, and drizzled in creamy hollandaise sauce.

Can I Make This Recipe Gluten-Free?

You bet! The only part of this recipe that isn’t gluten-free are the chicken sausage links, so just swap those out for another protein of your choice or just serve without.

Can I Make This Recipe Dairy-Free?

Yes again! You can use non-dairy butter in the hollandaise sauce! For the waffles, you can just use almond, soy, or cashew milk and you’re good to go!

What’s in it?

Open Nature® Gluten Free Pancake & Baking Mix

This certified gluten-free baking mix is perfect for making pancakes, waffles, biscuits, or anything you can dream up! It’s also got no added colors or flavors, so you know there’s nothing but good stuff in it. I chose to use the mix to make waffles for this recipe, so honestly the hardest part was just getting the right shape to the waffles. But the mix was easy to use and my kids gobbled up the waffles! You could even add something fun to the mix like fruit, chocolate, or peanut butter – of course, just a little syrup is perfect too!

O Organics® Large Brown Grade A Eggs

Can you have breakfast without eggs? Yes. Should you? No. I like how versatile eggs are! You can bake them into cakes, whip them into oblivion and make delicious fluffy meringues, or scramble them with whatever you have leftover in the fridge. For this recipe, I made the eggs two ways – poached and made into a sauce. They both turned out so good! And don’t forget, for any recipe using eggs, the fresher the better (unless you’re boiling the eggs whole).

O Organics Chicken Maple Sausage Links

When you make a chicken and waffle mashup recipe, you have to have chicken, waffles, and maple syrup. These yummy chicken sausages have the maple syrup in them, so you get the sweet deliciousness of them without all of the stickiness. I also love that they’re so easy to make! Just grab a few out of the freezer and pop them into the microwave for a few minutes – easy!

Where do I Find the Ingredients?

I purchased all of my O Organics and Open Nature ingredients for this dish at my local Randalls.

They also carry these brands, at a value, exclusively at the Albertsons Companies family of stores, including Albertsons, Safeway, ACME Markets, Jewel-Osco, Vons, Pavilions, Tom Thumb, Shaw’s, Star Market, United Supermarkets, and Carrs/Safeway. You can visit Randalls.com to find a store near you. And while you’re there, be sure to check out their meal prep tips and recipe ideas as well!

The best part about shopping at my local Randalls is the online savings. I love creating my shopping list online, adding my digital coupons, and making things easier on myself for when I’m actually in the store (especially if I have the kids with me).

While I’m not spending much time in store lately, Randalls has made some awesome accommodations to their shopping experience – like special shopping hours for seniors and keeping the shelves stocked. Randalls also offers Grocery Delivery and DriveUp & Go™ for convenient ways to shop! I love using this feature when I have my kids with me so I don’t have to get them in and out of the car. I just order online, show up at my scheduled time, and a store associate puts them in the car. So easy!
