Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 2 pieces Chicken Breast Provides solid protein and texture; freeze prior to slicing for cleaner cuts.
  • 1/2 cup Mayonnaise Acts as a binder for the potato chip coating; Greek yogurt can be a lighter substitute.
  • 2 cups Kettle-Cooked Potato Chips Adds a crunchy, salty crust; feel free to use your favorite type of salty chip.
For the Waffle Batter
  • 3 whites Egg White Whipped to soft peaks for light, airy waffles.
  • 2 tbsp Granulated Sugar Enhances sweetness and aids in caramelization; sugar substitutes can lower calories.
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour Forms the waffle's structure; a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works for variations.
  • 1 tbsp Baking Powder Essential for achieving fluffy waffles.
  • 1 tsp Baking Soda Essential for achieving fluffy waffles.
  • 1/2 tsp Salt Elevates all flavors in your chicken and waffles.
  • 1/4 cup Unsalted Butter Adds rich flavor; melted coconut oil can be used as a dairy-free alternative.
  • 1 cup Buttermilk Provides moisture and a slight tang; regular milk with a splash of vinegar can replace it.
For the Gravy
  • 1/4 cup Unsalted Butter Ensures a smooth consistency for the gravy; olive oil can serve as a lighter substitute.
  • 1/4 cup All-Purpose Flour Thickens the gravy beautifully; cornstarch can provide a gluten-free option.
  • 2 cups Whole Milk Adds creaminess to the gravy; almond milk works well for a dairy-free variation.
  • 1 tsp Black Pepper Essential for flavoring the gravy; adjust to your taste.
  • 1/2 tsp Salt Essential for flavoring the gravy; adjust to your taste.
For Garnish
  • 2 tbsp Scallions Adds color and flavor; can also be substituted with chives or omitted.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Coat the chicken breasts in mayonnaise, then dredge them in crushed kettle-cooked potato chips. Place on the baking sheet.
  3. While the chicken is baking, preheat your waffle iron.
  4. Beat the egg whites until they form soft peaks. In another bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, then fold in melted butter and buttermilk, followed by the beaten egg whites.
  5. Pour the waffle batter into the preheated waffle iron and cook until golden and crispy, about 5 minutes.
  6. In a saucepan, melt unsalted butter over medium heat, whisk in flour, then gradually add whole milk. Simmer until thickened, seasoning with salt and black pepper.
  7. Assemble the dish by placing a waffle on a plate, topping with a piece of chicken, and drizzling with gravy. Garnish with scallions if desired.
