Equipment

  • Air fryer
  • waffle iron

Ingredients

  • 2 Chicken Breasts
  • 1/2 cup Cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup Flour
  • 2 tablespoons Seasoning Blend like Nature's Seasoning
  • 2 Eggs
  • 2 1/2 cups Pancake Mix
  • 1 1/2 cups water or as needed to make the waffles
  • Maple Syrup warmed, optional for topping.

Instructions

  • Gather all ingredients together. Pound the chicken breasts using the flat side of a kitchen mallet to 1/2 inch thick. Then cut each chicken breast into 2 pieces.
  • In a wide, shallow bowl, mix flour and cornstarch with seasoning. In another bowl, beat the eggs well. Coat the chicken fillets in the flour mixture, then the egg wash, then back into the flour.
  • Spray the air fryer basket with oil. Then add the chicken to the basket and spray them with oil.
  • Cook fillets at 380°F for 12-15 minutes. Make sure chicken internal temp reaches 165°f. Flip fillets and cook for 3-5 more mintues to crisp breading. Remove and let fillets rest.
  • While chicken is cooking, make waffles by mixing pancake mix and water to create a batter.
  • Cook waffles using a waffle iron, being sure to evenly disperse the batter.
  • Assemble the chicken fillets between two waffle squares, coat with warm maple syrup if desired, and enjoy.

Notes

  • The nutrition facts for this recipe are approximate, and don't include the maple syrup or other toppings you might add to the chicken. 
  • Try adding buffalo sauce or BBQ sauce to chicken and waffles for a more savory experience. 
  • If your pancake recipe gives instructions for making waffle batter, use those instructions, otherwise use the amount of water given in the recipe. Adjust as needed to get the right consistency. 
  • Pro Tip: This recipe can be made in the air fryer unit with a basket or the air fryer oven. If you are using the air fryer oven, use the middle rack and select the "Air Fry" function.
  • Pro Tip: Check your food as it cooks. Each air fryer runs a bit differently. Sometimes airfrying is a trial and error process. Check your food as it cooks to learn your air fryer better! When cooking a new recipe or food items be sure to check your food often to help avoid over/under cooking.
