Maple Pulled Chicken with Cornbread Waffles

October 5, 2025 by overtimecook Leave a Comment

Do you receive the Overtime Cook email newsletter? I send out a weekly menu plan, plus more. Click here to sign up. P.S – it’s completely free! Waffles are one of my top 3 foods (along with dumplings and popcorn) and if you've only been enjoying waffles in a sweet format, you're missing on some of the best food you could be eating. Chicken and waffles is a famous southern dish, but my version swaps the fried chicken for maple pulled chicken (lighter and easier to prepare), swaps the big sweet waffles for mini cornbread waffles (prettier presentation!) and tops it with just the right toppings for tanginess and crunch!    If you're looking for a dish that will impress … [Read more...]

Beef Potstickers Recipe

Do you receive the Overtime Cook email newsletter? I send out a weekly menu plan, plus more. Click here to sign up. P.S – it’s completely free!   Anyone who knows me in real life likely knows my top 3 favorite foods: dumplings, waffles and popcorn. (The order is dependent on the day, but almost always starts with dumplings.) And in my mind, there's simply no better dumpling than potstickers. If you're paying attention, that means that potstickers are my ultimate favorite food.  Honestly, it should be easy to understand why. These are crispy on one side, chewy on the other. They are fun to eat and even fun to make. I am so happy to finally be sharing the recipe with you. … [Read more...]
