PARTNER POST: We’ve teamed up with Bonne Maman to bring you the best homemade breakfast and brunch recipes to show Mom you care this Mother’s Day and all spring long.
These aren’t your usual chicken and waffles. They’re stacked tall and served with savory brie cheese and sweet raspberry preserves.
Shout out to all the Moms out there working hard! Hope that the weekend is filled with love, family, and happiness because you sure do deserve it! I may not be a Mom myself but from friends, family friends, and my own Mom .. I’ve witnessed first hand that being a Mom is no easy job.
To help celebrate the holiday, I partnered with Bonne Maman to create an inspiring breakfast in bed recipe that would be perfect for Mom! If you haven’t planned out your Mother’s day brunch menu yet then I would highly recommend adding this to the list.
Instead of working on a recipe for the most popular brunch dishes (i.e. pancakes, eggs, french toast) I wanted to get creative with a dish that I would consider an unsung hero – Chicken and Waffles. This recipe is both sweet and savory. Golden brown waffles are topped with crispy fried chicken and then smothered in a creamy brie fondue and a generous dollop of Bonne Maman’s raspberry preserves!
The dish is basically baked brie & raspberry meets chicken and waffles. I personally love how the saltiness of the chicken counterbalances the sweetness of the raspberry preserves. Bonne Maman produces their products in France and are Non-GMO, have no fructose corn syrup, no artificial coloring, and no added preservatives! When I tried it in this recipe I was really able to taste the whole top notch quality. I love preserves and jams but I hate when they are loaded with ingredients and additives that I can barely understand and make the flavor taste artificial. That was definitely not the case here.
Not only is breakfast in bed something that will help kick start Mom’s day in a special way, I always feel that things that are homemade can really put a smile on a loved one’s face.
