Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). While it heats, line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Coat chicken breasts generously with mayonnaise, then dredge in crushed potato chips. Arrange on baking sheet and bake for 15-17 minutes.
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Beat egg whites until soft peaks form. In another bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Combine with melted butter and buttermilk, then fold in egg whites.
Pour batter into preheated waffle iron and cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Repeat until all batter is used.
Melt butter in a saucepan; whisk in flour to create a roux. Gradually add milk, whisking until the gravy thickens. Season with salt and pepper.
Assemble by layering waffles with chicken and drizzling with gravy. Garnish with scallions if desired.
