For the Chicken and Waffle

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Wild Rice Waffle Batter

    In a bowl, combine the wild rice, all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Add Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together the egg and milk. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.

  3. 3

    Cook the Waffles

    Preheat a waffle iron and spray with non-stick cooking spray. Pour the batter into the waffle iron and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions until golden brown.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Chicken

    Season the chicken breasts with smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Dredge them in flour, shaking off excess.

  5. 5

    Fry the Chicken

    Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken breasts until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Make Agave Nectar Butter

    In a small bowl, mix the softened butter with agave nectar until well combined.

  7. 7

    Assemble the Dish

    Place a wild rice waffle on a plate, top with fried chicken, and drizzle with smoked maple syrup. Serve with agave nectar butter on the side.
