3 Tbsp. pecan flavored syrup (or you can use Maple Syrup)
2 Tbsp. Prissy’s Peach Preserves
1/2 Tsp. Worcestershire sauce
2 bone-in-skin on chicken breasts (1 lb)
1/4 Tsp. salt
4 squares frozen home-style or buttermilk waffles (from 12 oz. bag)
1 Tbsp. butter
1 medium Vidalia Onion chopped (1/2 cup)
1/4 Cup chicken broth
1/2 Tsp. poultry seasoning
1/2 Tsp. chopped fresh sage leaves
1 Tbsp. beaten egg whites
1 Box (9oz.) frozen spinach, thawed, drained (about 1 cup)
1 Tbsp. chopped pecans
1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spray 9 in. glass pie plate or 8 in. square pan with no stick 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. Meantime, toast waffles until golden brown. Cool slightly, about 2 minutes. Cut waffles into 3/4 inch cubes; set aside. Spray 1-qt. casserole with no stick cooking spray. In 10 inch nonstick skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onions, cook and stir about 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 5 minutes. Stir in egg white and spinach. Spoon stuffing into casserole. Sprinkle pecans over top.
3. 20 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 degree) and stuffing is hot. Spoon remaining syrup mixture in pie plate over chicken. Serve chicken with stuffing.
