Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper. In a frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes on each side until they are crispy and cooked through. Remove from heat and let them rest.

  2. 2

    Make the Waffle Batter

    In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. In another bowl, whisk together eggs and milk. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the cheddar cheese.

  3. 3

    Cook the Waffles

    Preheat your waffle iron. Pour the batter into the preheated waffle iron and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions until golden brown and crispy.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Roasted Street Corn

    Mix the roasted sweet corn with a pinch of salt and a drizzle of morita sauce. Set aside.

  5. 5

    Plate the Dish

    On a plate, stack a waffle, top it with a crispy chicken breast, drizzle with jalapeño-infused honey, and add roasted street corn on the side. Garnish with chopped cilantro and shaved sweet peppers.
