Keto Chicken and Waffles is a great way to satisfy both sweet and savory flavors! Delicious, golden brown waffles are topped with crispy Low Carb and gluten-free chicken tenders. Each waffle is topped with plenty of grass-fed butter and maple syrup with the chicken on top, of course!
To begin, plug in small waffle iron to preheat it.
Combine the dry ingredients, including the almond flour, granulated sweetener of choice, baking soda, and kosher salt.
Next, combine the liquid ingredients, including the eggs, almond milk, vanilla extract, and apple cider vinegar.
Pour the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk well to combine. Use the batter immediately.
Brush the iron with melted butter using a silicone brush.
Pour enough batter to cover the bottom of the iron barely. Cook waffles for 5-6 minutes, erroring on the side for more time. If the waffles will not come out of the iron easily, give them another minute.
Remove the waffle from the iron by using a rubber spatula. Gently lift the waffle from the iron and directly pull the waffle up. This method will help the waffle not to break. Set the waffle aside on a plate and repeat with the remaining batter. The recipe should make 5-6 waffles.
Once the waffles are almost finished (or, if you can multitask in the earlier steps). Whisk the eggs with 1 tsp kosher salt.
Combine the almond flour with 1 tsp kosher salt on a plate.
Place the raw chicken tenders into the eggs and use tongs to coat them.
Use the tongs to transfer the egg-coated chicken tenders to the plate with the almond flour. Coat them well on both sides and repeat with any remaining chicken tenders.
Preheat a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat until hot. Add in ½ cup tallow (or lard) and allow it to melt.
Add in the chicken tenders and cook on the first side until golden brown.
Flip and repeat on the other side until the chicken is cooked through.
Top each waffle with butter and then one or two chicken tenders. Drizzle with Keto maple syrup.
