To make this delicious dish, which (don't let the waffles fool you) is a perfect meal at any time of day, you'll need a few minutes and list of ingredients which isn't too difficult to round up. While you're preparing the recipe, you can keep the waffles warm by popping them in an oven that's heated to 200°. (No one likes cold waffles.) You can do this up to 30 minutes before assembling the chicken and waffles. Enjoy!
