Description

Imagine a brunch that satisfies your cravings without weighing you down. This recipe brings together the comforting flavors of chicken and waffles in a lighter, more wholesome way, perfect for a leisurely weekend meal or a satisfying start to your day. Instead of traditional waffles, we create a delightful base using a simple yet ingenious technique, resulting in a crisp and subtly savory foundation.

These golden rounds emerge from the waffle maker with a satisfying texture, ready to cradle the star of the show: crispy fried chicken. Each piece of chicken is coated in a specially seasoned blend, delivering an irresistible crunch with every bite. The savory spices complement the tender chicken, creating a symphony of flavors that dance on your palate.

To complete this balanced brunch, we add thoughtfully prepared sides. Imagine fluffy cauliflower rice, seasoned to evoke the familiar taste of hashbrowns, offering a comforting and nutritious element. A light and refreshing salad of fresh greens adds a touch of brightness and balances the richness of the other components.

And, of course, no brunch is complete without the creamy goodness of freshly sliced avocado. Its mild, buttery flavor and smooth texture provide a delightful contrast to the crispy chicken and savory waffle. The versatility of cauliflower shines in this dish, transforming into a blank canvas for savory flavors.

By using seasonings like paprika, pepper, and salt, we coax out a taste reminiscent of classic breakfast potatoes. Alternatively, for a heartier, dinner-inspired twist, consider seasoning the cauliflower with garlic and rosemary. The base, a clever combination of cheese and egg cooked in a waffle maker, achieves a unique texture that is both crispy and chewy.

The cheese creates a delightful waffle-like result that is surprisingly flexible. Even without a waffle maker, you can still enjoy this creation by cooking the batter in a pan like a pancake, using a touch of coconut oil to achieve a golden-brown finish.

Instructions

    1.
    Prepare the chicken breast in advance by cutting it into long strips and marinating them in a dish of heavy cream. You will need more cream than what is listed in the ingredients to cover the chicken, but the excess won be consumed. Let the chicken tenderize in the cream for at least 4 hours, but you can prepare the chicken the night before you make the recipe too. When it time to cook the chicken, prepare the breading by combining almond flour, ground pork rinds, seasoned salt, white pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, mustard powder, and nutmeg on a dish.
    2.
    Turn on the oven to preheat to 375 degrees and line a sheet tray with parchment paper. To bread the chicken, pick up one strip ad let excess cream drip off. Then, roll the chicken strip in the breading until it entirely coated. Repeat the process until all your chicken strips are breaded, and arrange them on your sheet tray. Bake the chicken strips for a total of 35-40 minutes, flipping them over halfway through.
    3.
    While the chicken strips are in the oven, make your Keto chaffle. Whisk together eggs, nutritional yeast, shredded cheddar, salt, and chopped green onion. Turn on a waffle maker to preheat, and spray it with pan spray. Once your waffle maker is ready, pour the chaffle batter in and seal the lid. Cook the chaffle until it turns golden and slightly crispy. Arrange your chaffle and fried chicken together on a serving plate.
    4.
    To make the thashbrowns , combine cauliflower rice with salt, pepper, mustard powder, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and paprika in a pan. Let the seasoned cauliflower cook in a thin layer in the pan, undisturbed, until the spices begin to char. Toss the cauliflower with olive oil and arrange it in a new layer to char on another side. Continue tossing and cooking until the cauliflower resembles griddled potato hash. At your discretion, you may add cheese to your cpotatoes .
    5.
    Add the hash to your serving plate. Quickly toss together your arugula and mixed greens in a large mixing bowl and dress them with lemon pepper. Add lemon juice, olive oil, and apple cider vinegar to the greens, and toss again. Serve the dressed greens on the side of your main course. Finally, slice and arrange avocado on top of your meal for extra calories and a complementary texture.
