Instructions

Waffles

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the water, yeast, and sugar. Make sure the bowl is twice as big as the amount of batter as it will expand overnight. Allow it to stand at room temperature for about 5 minutes until the yeast dissolves and the mixture has started to foam.
2. Stir in the milk, butter, vanilla, and salt. Add the flour and whisk until the batter is
smooth. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow it to sit overnight at a cool room temperature.
3. In the morning, beat the eggs together with the baking soda and whisk them into the batter until combined.
4. Heat a waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions and brush the top and bottom with melted butter. Pour just enough of the batter onto the hot waffle iron to cover the grids. Close, and cook for 5 to 6 minutes on high heat, until the waffles are golden brown.

Chicken

5. Heat skillet and add oil.
6. Dip the chicken breasts in Panko bread crumbs, the marinade helps them stick so no need to add anything extra.
7. Add chicken breasts to skillet, 1-2 at a time.
8. Cook for 4-6 minutes on each side, check that the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.
9. Add chicken on top of waffles and drizzle with maple syrup.
