Waffles with Chicken Strips Meryenda For Kids

This is such a fun meryenda idea because it’s sweet, savory, crispy, and filling all in one plate. Parang café-style snack, pero homemade and kid-approved. Day 1 of prepping one week of meryenda for the kids, and for today’s special request: waffles with chicken strips!

For the waffles, I used MAYA Original Fluffy n’ Tasty Hotcake Mix. The package recipe uses water, but I replaced it with milk and added a little more than the usual measurement para mas creamy ang batter and mas bagay siya sa waffle maker.

Waffles Recipe

Ingredients:

1 pack MAYA Original Fluffy n’ Tasty Hotcake Mix, 250g
1 medium-sized egg
2 tablespoons oil
1 to 1 ¼ cups milk
Maple syrup, for serving

Procedure:

In a bowl, combine the hotcake mix, egg, oil, and milk. Start with 1 cup of milk muna, then add more up to 1 ¼ cups if needed. The batter should be smooth and pourable, but not too watery.

Preheat the waffle maker and lightly grease it with oil or cooking spray. Pour enough batter into the waffle maker, close, and cook until golden brown and lightly crisp outside.

Set aside while preparing the chicken strips.

Chicken Strips Recipe

For the chicken strips, recipe ni ate ito. Simple lang siya but super flavorful, especially with the double coating method para mas crispy after frying.

@mommypehpot Prepping 1 week of meryenda for the kdis 🙂 Day 1 Meryenda: Waffles and Chicken Strips #MommyPehpot #meryendaideas #backtoschool ♬ original sound – MommyPehpot

Ingredients:

For the chicken and marinade:

500 grams chicken breast fillet, sliced into strips
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
¾ cup milk
1 tablespoon vinegar
1 egg

For the coating:

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Oil, for frying

Procedure:

Place the chicken fillet strips in a bowl. Season with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Mix until the chicken is evenly coated.

Add the milk, vinegar, and egg, then mix again. Let the chicken marinate for at least 20 to 30 minutes para mas malasa and tender.

In a separate bowl, prepare the coating by combining flour, salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.

Get one chicken strip, coat it with the flour mixture, then dip it back into the marinade. Coat it again with the flour mixture for the second coating. Repeat with the rest of the chicken strips.

Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the chicken strips in batches until golden brown, crispy, and cooked through. Avoid overcrowding the pan para hindi bumaba ang temperature ng oil and para crispy pa rin ang coating.

Once cooked, transfer the chicken strips to a rack or plate lined with paper towel to remove excess oil.

How to Serve Waffles with Chicken Strips

Serve the freshly cooked waffles with crispy chicken strips on the side. Drizzle maple syrup over the waffles, or serve the syrup separately para the kids can add as much as they like.

The combination of soft and slightly crisp waffles with crunchy chicken strips is so good. Sweet, salty, and savory in every bite.

Dip the chicken in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs until fully coated.

Ham and Cheese Sandwich Recipe

Looking for easy baon ideas? This Ham and Cheese Sandwich Recipe is perfect not just for snacks, but also for lunch or breakfast. It’s a simple meal that feels complete because it already has carbs, protein, and veggies in one bite. Kaya kahit busy ang mornings, this sandwich is a great option if you want something quick, filling, and easy to prepare.

What I love about this sandwich is that it’s very convenient but still delicious. Hindi siya complicated gawin, but it tastes fresh and satisfying. It’s also a good choice for kids’ baon, office lunch, or even a light meal at home.

Ingredients for Ham and Cheese Sandwich Recipe

For this recipe, you will need:

2 slices of wheaten bread
2 to 3 pieces honey-cured ham (I bought mine from S&R)
4 slices cucumber
3 to 4 leaves romaine lettuce
Eden Mayo
Honey mustard
Cheese – for this recipe, I used cheddar shreds

These ingredients are very simple, but when combined, they make a sandwich that is creamy, savory, slightly sweet, and fresh.

How to Make This Ham and Cheese Sandwich Recipe

The layering is very easy.

Start by toasting the slices of bread. On one side, add the cheese first so it can warm up nicely while the bread toasts. Once toasted, spread mayo on the side without cheese, then place the ham on top.

On the side with cheese, add the vegetables first — the cucumber slices and romaine lettuce. After that, drizzle a little honey mustard over the veggies. Then fold the two sides together and wrap the sandwich in paper.

That’s it — your sandwich is ready.

Why I Still Wrap My Sandwiches

Kahit sa bahay lang itong sandwich, I still use a wrapper because it makes it easier to eat. Mas neat siya hawakan, and it also makes the sandwich feel more prepared and enjoyable, parang café-style lang. The wrapper I use was something I bought from Shopee.
