Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic
1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning (such as Trader Joe's® 21 Seasoning Salute)
1 1/2 cups warm milk
2 large eggs
1/3 cup salted butter, melted
1/3 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1 (24 ounce) package frozen breaded chicken breast fillets (such as Kirkwood®)
cooking spray
1 pinch salt

Directions

1 Mix flour, baking powder, salt, garlic, and seasoning in a large bowl; set aside. Beat milk, eggs, and melted butter together in a separate bowl. Pour milk mixture into the flour mixture; beat until blended. Fold in Cheddar cheese.
2 Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for 5 minutes.
3 Air fry chicken for 7 minutes. Turn chicken pieces and cook for another 6 minutes.
4 Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C). Preheat a waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions. Spray waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray.
5 Ladle 3 tablespoons batter on the waffle iron. Cook until waffle is golden brown and the iron stops steaming, about 5 minutes. Place on a lined baking sheet and keep warm in the oven. Repeat with remaining batter.
6 Assemble waffle and chicken sandwiches once all the waffles are cooked.
