Chicken and Waffles

For the majority of my life, breakfast has always been some deadly combination of grains and sugar. Cereal, Poptarts, Pancakes, Waffles… I have never really been a bacon and eggs kind of gal. Don’t get me wrong, I love bacon, and I love eggs. Unfortunately, habits are hard to break. I am still gradually trying to shift away from sweets in the morning. This recipe is a great combination of sweet and savory. My ultimate breakfast sandwich. Chicken and Waffles! And thank goodness, these waffles are grain and sugar free!
