Baked Chicken and Waffles

Chicken and waffles is my new favorite comfort food. It doesn't take too long to prepare and cook this recipe and the pay-off is so good.

Step 1: Ingredients

For this recipe you will need:

3 boneless chicken breast

For the breading:

4 c cornflakes

1 tsp cumin seed

1 tsp oregano

2 large egg whites

1/2 tsp cayenne powder

1 tsp basil

1/4 c buttermilk

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

1 tsp onion powder

1 tsp minced garlic

2 tsp thyme

For the waffles:

2 c flour

1 3/4 c milk

2 tbsp sugar

1/3 c vegetable oil

1 tsp salt

2 eggs

1 tbsp baking powder

1 tbsp honey

Step 2: Mix the Seasonings

Mix all of the seasonings (everything except the eggs, milk and cornflakes) in a bowl.

Step 3: Prep Your Chicken

Cut the chicken breast in half, length-wise.

Step 4: Eggs&Milk

Whisk the eggs and milk together.

Step 5: Crush Those Flakes!

Crush the cornflakes until it has the appearance of breadcrumbs. You can use a food processor on the pulse setting, or putting the flakes in a baggy and crushing them by hand.

Step 6: Assembly Line

Make an assembly line of your flour mixture, the egg wash and the breadcrumbs. One at a time, coat both sides of the chicken in each and then place the chicken on a baking tray that's been coated with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 7: Before Putting the Chicken in the Oven...

Spray the chicken with the non-stick cooking spray too.

Step 8: Bake!

Bake in the oven that's been preheated to 450° for 20 minutes.

Step 9: Make Those Waffles!

While the chicken is baking, it's time to start making the waffles.

Step 10: Mix Those Dry Ingredients

In a bowl, combine the baking powder, flour, sugar and salt.

Step 11: In Another Bowl..

Now in a separate bowl, mix the eggs, milk and oil together.

Step 12: Now Add Them Together.

Combine both bowls together and mix thoroughly. It's okay to have lumps in the mixture.

Step 13: Top It Off.

Add the honey and blend it in.

Step 14: Cook the Waffles

Using the manufacturer's guide for your waffle iron, preheat the iron and cook the waffle batter.

Step 15: 20 Minutes Is Up!

Remove the chicken from the oven.

Step 16: Enjoy!
