Curried Chicken Salad Waffle Sandwich
Taking time for lunch. Sounds simple but how many of us really do it? This is something I struggle with all the time. Most times my lunch consists of baked chips and a diet soda. I think that I don’t have time to walk away from my computer and eat. When in fact I would be far more productive if I did walk away for an hour, ate a good lunch and relaxed.
It’s time WE take back the lunch hour! No more eating warmed up instant soup at our desks! The lunch hour is an important time. A time of refueling and renewing our minds.
I developed this curried chicken salad waffle sandwich recipe because I needed something not only good to eat but good for me. The addition of cheese adds another layer of texture and flavor.
TIP: Save time by using leftover chicken or buy a rotisserie chicken at your grocery store. For a calorie buster serve this salad on a bed of spinach or pack in a mason jar.
TIP: Most likely you will have leftover Jicama. I like to cut jicama into strips and serve it in my Baja style tacos. Delish! Jicama adds a wonderful crunch. Can’t find Jicama? You can also use sliced water chestnuts.
Separate biscuit dough and roll into 4-inch rounds.
Place on pre heated waffle iron.
Bake 2 minutes or until golden brown.
