    I have a confession ...

    Making this recipe was the first time I've ever had chicken and waffles! Considering I grew up in the south, this is pretty surprising - even to myself.

    It was actually my kids who asked me to make this for them after they saw it advertised somewhere. And, let me just say, I am SO happy that they did!!

    This recipe was pretty easy to put together since I already have a KILLER waffle recipe! The only thing left to figure out was the chicken.

    I chose to keep the chicken pretty simple. I stuck with the basic seasonings my grandma used to use in her fried chicken and swapped the traditional flour for almond flour.

    The result was AMAZING!

    You will start by making the waffles. Putting the mix together is quick, but cooking them can be time consuming since you can only make one at a time. So I usually prepare the batter, then start cooking the waffles as I am preparing the chicken.

    You can check out my waffle recipe HERE!

    For the chicken, I opted to go for a tender, but you could use any piece of chicken you like - bone in or boneless will both work fine, but you may need to adjust cooking time based upon the chicken pieces you are using.

    To make the chicken, Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F, and spray a foil lined baking sheet with oil.

    Next, combine the almond flour with the seasonings. Coat each piece of chicken in the mixture, then transfer to the baking dish.

    Lightly spritz each piece of chicken with oil (I use a Misto!) Place the chicken in the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, flipping once halfway through.

    *NOTE: If you have an air fryer, I HIGHLY recommend that you use it for this chicken! Simply preheat to 375, place breaded chicken into fryer basket and spritz with oil. Cook for about 10-12 minutes or until done. Be sure to only cook one layer at a time. 

    Serve the waffles topped with chicken and the syrup of your choice! I use THIS!

    Servings 10 servings
    Prep Time 15 mins
    Cook Time 30 mins

    Ingredients
      

    For Waffles:

    • 2 cups super fine almond flour
    • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
    • ½ teaspoon Salt
    • 15 drops liquid stevia optional
    • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
    • 4 tablespoon butter melted
    • 6 large eggs
    • 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk or original unsweetened almond milk + ¼ teaspoon of vanilla

    For chicken:

    • 2 ½ lbs. Boneless, skinless chicken tenders (or chicken pieces of your choice)
    • ¾ cup Almond Flour
    • 1 tablespoon Oil (I used olive oil)
    • 1 tablespoon Paprika
    • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
    • 1 ½ teaspoon Salt
    • ¼ teaspoon Pepper
    • Dash cayenne pepper, or to taste optional

    Instructions
     

    To make the waffles:

    • Preheat waffle maker to high heat.
    • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt. Then, in a separate bowl, whisk eggs, then add cream, almond milk, and butter or oil, whisking until well combined.
    • Slowly whisk the wet ingredients into the dry and stir just until combined.
    • Spray waffle maker with non-stick cooking spray if needed. Pour ½ cup of batter onto hot waffle maker, close and cook for several minutes, until steam coming from waffle maker slows down a bit. Slowly open the waffle maker (if it doesn't open easily, your waffle likely needs to cook longer) remove waffle and repeat with remaining batter.

    For the chicken:

    • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F, and spray a foil lined baking sheet with oil.
    • Combine the almond flour with the seasonings. Coat each piece of chicken in the mixture, then transfer to the baking dish. Lightly spritz each piece of chicken with oil (I use a Misto!)
    • Place the chicken in the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, flipping once halfway through.
      OR
      If you have an air fryer, I HIGHLY recommend that you use it for this chicken! Simply preheat to 375, place breaded chicken into fryer basket and spritz with oil. Cook for about 10-12 minutes or until done. Be sure to only cook one layer at a time.
    • Serve the waffles topped with chicken and the syrup of your choice!

      The instructions mention eggs and almond milk, but neither of these ingredients is in the ingredient list. Just wondering whether they are needed or not.

        So sorry for this! I recently switched my recipe formatting and it looks like some of the ingredients didn't transfer over. I just went in and manually updated it, so it should be accurate now 🙂

      Me and my family love this recipe! The only change I made was I used crushed rinds instead of almond flour for the chicken coating, but everything else is the exact same. The waffles are the best keto waffle recipe I have tried. Thanks for a great recipe

      This was freakin legit! My kids loved it- and they NEVER love when I try new things.
      One little hack I used that I learned from a friend- before coating the chicken with the flour mixture, I rubbed the pieces of meat down with some yellow mustard. It really enhances the flavor of all the seasonings!
      The waffles were so good I made them again for breakfast on Saturday morning.
