Chicken and Waffles

List of Ingredients




SERVES 3-4

There was nothing like Red's Diner Chicken and Waffles every Sunday. Great way to stretch a little chicken a long way. This is very easy and very quick if made with leftover chicken and gravy. Yes it is a dinner not a breakfast. Yes you can use frozen premade waffles. [You don't want them too sweet]



Olive oil
1/2 of a whole chicken
Salt and pepper to taste
1 stalk celery
1 medium carrot
1 small onion, peeled
1 bayleaf
2-1/2 cans (14.5 ounces each) low-salt chicken broth
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cold water
1 batch of your favorite waffles

Heat olive oil in a stew pan over high heat. Sprinkle both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper to taste. Add to
pan and brown on both sides. Add celery, carrot, onion, bayleaf and broth. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer
until chicken is tender, about 60 minutes. Remove chicken from pot; cool, remove fat and bones and pull apart into
small pieces. Skim excess fat from the broth. Discard the vegetables (or eat as cook's treat). Mix the flour with the
water until smooth. Bring the broth to a slow boil. Add the flour-water paste gradually, stirring rapidly after each
addition. Continue until gravy is the desired thickness. Taste for seasoning. Add the chicken and keep warm over
very low heat.

Meanwhile, make the waffles according to recipe and waffle iron. If necessary, place in a 200° F oven to keep
warm. Serve the waffles topped with chicken and gravy.

Note: Make extra waffles; freeze and reheat in the toaster for breakfast. Recipe can easily be doubled using a
whole chicken.
