| New Chicken and waffles |
It all started with my son wanting cranberry waffles. Hmmm, what could I do with cranberry waffles that would be a bit more dinnery?
One of my sinful favorites is chicken and waffles. I have to honesty say, I never really got the concept but I love the combination. So here is what I decided to do, a redux of traditional chicken and waffles.
Here is what happened. Cranberry waffles were first on the list and just required the addition of cranberry sauce to the batter before cooking them. Next, sautee an onion till it is tender then I added sliced chicken breast.
Cook this a few minutes on each side and then I added the zest and juice of an orange.
Then I cooked the chicken till it was browned and cooked all the way through and removed it from the pan.
Next it was time to add in some chicken stock, thyme, and some of the homemade cranberry sauce that was in the waffles. All those yummy pieces parts got scraped off the bottom of the pan and made the most sumptuous saucey gravy.
Then you put the chicken back into the pan with the sauce and simmer for a few minutes. I finished the whole thing off by plating the chicken and sauce over the cranberry waffles with a small dollop of the cranberry sauce and a bit of brie on top. I have to say that it was fabulous! Not one little bit survived the onslaught. I am going to add this one to the keeper book.
Give it a try, it is totally worth it! The recipe goes something like this:
