Low Carb Best Chicken and Waffles
How to Make It
Step 1
Choose chicken breast that has been cut into tenders or slice the chicken breast yourself. Add the chicken tenders to a bowl and season them with salt and pepper. Dust the tenders next with almond flour.
Step 2
Prepare a breading station by whisking an egg in a small bowl. On a clean plate, combine the second amount of almond flour with paprika, onion powder, and garlic powder. Additionally, you need to fill a frying pan with at least 1-inch of avocado oil (this may be more than what is listed in the ingredients, but the excess won’t be consumed).
Step 3
Begin heating the oil at medium heat while you bread the chicken strips. One at a time, dip a floured chicken strip into the egg. Let the egg drip off before you roll the chicken in the seasoned almond flour. Add the breaded chicken to the hot frying pan to cook.
Step 4
Fry all the breaded chicken tenders until they are extra crispy all over as well as reach at least 165 F (80 C) on a meat thermometer. The almond flour may get dark in the oil, but it’s not burnt. After cooking all the chicken, make your waffle batter by whisking together the third amount of almond flour together with powdered erythritol and baking powder in a clean, large mixing bowl. Next, whisk egg, vanilla extract, and almond milk into the batter. Melt the butter and whisk this in as well.
Step 5
You can choose between cooking your waffle in a pan on the stove or a waffle iron – both work. To cook the batter in a pan, spray a small pan liberally with pan spray. Heat the pan on medium-low heat before pouring in the waffle batter. Cook the batter similar to pancake batter – wait for the batter to bubble before you flip it over and finish cooking.
Step 6
For serving, plate one large waffle with 2-3 fried chicken tenders. It is most delicious to add Keto maple syrup to your dish to complete the “chicken and waffles”. Check the introduction of the recipe to read more about how to find Keto maple syrup. Enjoy hot!
