Cooking Directions

  1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray 9-inch glass pie plate or 8-inch square pan with cooking spray. In small bowl, mix syrup, preserves and Worcestershire sauce. Place chicken, skin side up, in pie plate; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Spoon syrup mixture over chicken.
  2. Bake uncovered 40 to 45 minutes. Meanwhile, toast waffles until golden brown. Cool slightly, about 2 minutes. Cut waffles into 3/4-inch cubes; set aside. Spray 1-quart casserole with cooking spray (or use 9x5-inch nonstick loaf pan; do not spray). In 10-inch nonstick skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir 2 minutes or until tender. Stir in waffle pieces and broth, breaking up waffle pieces slightly to moisten. Sprinkle with poultry seasoning and sage. Remove from heat; cool about 5 minutes. Stir in egg white and spinach. Spoon stuffing into casserole. Sprinkle pecans over top.
  3. Twenty minutes before chicken is done, place casserole in oven next to chicken in pie plate. Spoon syrup mixture in pie plate over chicken. Bake chicken and stuffing uncovered 20 to 25 minutes longer or until juice of chicken is clear when thickest part is cut to bone (170 degrees F) and stuffing is thoroughly heated. Spoon remaining syrup mixture in pie plate over chicken. Serve chicken with stuffing.

Yield: 2 servings

  • This tasted awful!

    mikekojima - March 12, 2007 10:43:57 AM PST
    First off, the weird maple syrup peach taste doesnt go with chicken. Chicken is a dinner sort of food which should taste savory with salt, pepper and shotgun pellets with a browned crisp skin, not like something you eat for breakfast. While cooking the kitchen smelled weird, like a boy scout pancake breakfast gone bad.

    The chicken ended up tasting very bland and the skin pale and slimy instead of browned and crispy. You never bake chicken covered for this reason! Slimy chicken skin, bleah. Overall the chicken was yucky. I could not eat it and fed it to the cat. Shake and bake chicken tastes much better.

    The stuffing did not have a savory stuffing like taste, it was like eating mushed up waffles. Stove top stuffing tastes way better and is easier to make.

    At 25 grams of fat, this isnt the most healthy thing either. This is approching fast food fat levels.

    The judges who gave this the million dollar prize were either bribed, getting a kickback from the winnings or were smoking crack.

    For a better quick meal try this one I made up, season some chicken parts with salt, pepper, galic powder, paprika and poltry seasoning. Then dip the parts in some beaten egg and roll in bread crumbs. Bake @ 350 degrees for 45-60 minutes. Serve with the spinach spared from the prior recipe. Make some stovetop stuffing and chow down with a beer. This is sorta bad non cooking guy sort of cooking but its way better than this! Grrrr!

    To use a Pillsbury product for this meal, save the waffles, the maple syrup and the peach preserves and eat them with a beer for breakfast the next day yum.

    I guess this recipe has one redeeming quality, it is better than hospital food.... sorta.

  • It was sickening

    Halonet - March 11, 2007 05:05:23 PM PST
    What were the judges thinking??? One of the judging criteria is consumer appeal.

    The recipes are supposed to be edible and have consumer appeal. This is the most nauseating thing I\'ve ever eaten. The chicken was so sweet my teeth hurt and the stuffing was wet and nasty.

    Maybe this year\'s winner will have a more sensible recipe with wider consumer appeal. I want something to make that\'s not too time consuming that my children will enjoy. I don\'t have the luxury of putting food in front of them that they spit out. My kids love pizza.

    Who cares if this woman was thinking outside the box, it doesn\'t sell Pillsbury, nor feed my children. I think it was thoughtless of the judges to aware this woman $1 million dollars. I am sure there must have been other recipes that were much better.

    I want my money back for the products I used in this recipe. Anyone can create garbage and call it creative. If that\'s all they want how abou this: peppermint chocolates with escargot filling rolled in pork rinds.

    Shame on the judges and Pillsbury.

  • This was the best there was?

    dazzlebydesign - March 8, 2007 08:32:16 AM PST
    For a million dollar winner I expected far more than this. The use of the waffles was clever but didn\'t add anything special. Too much poultry seasoning and sage for our tastes and even basting the chicken with the too sweet sauce unseasoned sauce didn\'t do a thing to perk up the flavor and most of it cooked away by the time the chicken was finished anyway. I really can\'t believe this one won a million.

    My family and I were not impressed with this recipe. It was bland and came out quite watery. I will not make this again.
