🥪🔥 LEFTOVERS FOR LUNCH… BUT MAKE IT ELITE

If you have leftover chicken & waffles and you’re NOT making this… we need to talk.

This might be one of the best high-protein lunches I’ve ever thrown together 👇

✨ The Waffle Sandwich Glow-Up

▫️ ¼ waffle = top + bottom “bun”

▫️ Crispy chicken

▫️ Fried egg whites

▫️ Hot honey drizzle

That’s it.

BUT the combo?? Unreal.

Sweet + spicy + crispy + savory in every bite 🤌

⸻

💪 Why this hits:

• High protein without feeling “healthy boring”

• Takes literally 5–10 minutes

• Uses leftovers you already have

• Feels like a brunch sandwich from a restaurant

⸻

🔥 Game-Changing Tip:

Throw the waffle + chicken in the air fryer for a few minutes before assembling → gets everything HOT + CRISPY again

⸻

💬 Let’s make this fun:

COMMENT “LUNCH” and I’ll drop more high-protein leftover ideas you can actually get excited about

⸻

Original Recipe for the high protein chicken and waffles can be found on my page.

📌 Save this for your next meal prep win

Sundays are for “leftovers”

One of our favorite things to do is pop things from the week onto a pizza and call it leftover pizza. It’s a great way to use up ingredients left in the fridge for the week. We like to make our own sauce and dough but grabbing one from the store would work great too! #pizzadoughrecipes
