I used to work for a small Southern restaurant in Washington DC. I wasn't a cook there – I bartended – but I did learn a lot from the chefs during my time there. One thing I learned about was chicken and waffles. Not being from the South, I'd never really heard of this combination. When I worked my first brunch shift and approximately 80% of diners ordered it, I figured I should maybe try it out! The combination of salty, crispy chicken with sweet, crispy waffle is seriously one of the best combinations in the world. It's one of those things that's hard to describe, but just trust me. It's very good. Normally, the dish is served with a huge amount of fried chicken topped on a waffle and sprinkled with powdered sugar. I decided to change it up a bit by using pounded chicken breasts. The fried breasts fit perfectly between two waffles and make a great breakfast sandwich!
