Ingredients
  

  • 1 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast
  • ½ cups BBQ sauce We like Sweet Baby Ray's, and you may use more or less than ½depending on how saucy you like your chicken to be.
  • ½ pounds bacon
  • 8 Nutri-grain by Eggo Waffles
  • 4 slices cheese I liked my sandwich with pepper-jack cheese; Joe preferred his with cheddar.
  • 4 leaves Lettuce
  • 1 large tomato sliced thickly

Instructions
 

  • Place the chicken breasts in a medium saucepan (3-quarts is a good size). Cover with water with an inch or two of water, and bring to a boil. Boil them or until they are cooked through, 160 degrees at the thickest point. If the breasts are frozen, it will take 30-40 minutes. If they're fresh, it may take 15-20. Use a meat thermometer to be safe.
  • While the chicken is cooking, prepare bacon using your preferred method. We fry ours - put it in a dry pan, heat over medium heat, and cook until it's just beginning to get crispy. While it's cooking, fold a couple of paper towels on a plate. When you remove the bacon from the pan, lay them on the paper towel to draw away more of the fat.
  • When the chicken is done, shred it with two forks - use one to hold it and the other to shred the meat. Put the meat in a sauté pan, cover with BBQ sauce, and heat until the sauce is bubbly.
  • While the chicken is rewarming, toast your waffles. You can either do it 2 at a time in the toaster or you can place all 8 on a baking sheet in the oven.
  • Now you're ready to assemble your sandwiches - place a warm waffle on the plate, cover it with chicken, add a piece of cheese (so it melts atop the hot chicken), then a few slices of bacon, a leaf or two of lettuce, and a slice of tomato. Top with another waffle, and you have a hot and hearty sandwich, great for a quick dinner!
