Chicken and Waffle Benedict

Last year I stayed at a historic bed and breakfast in Salem North Carolina. While I was there I had the pleasure to meet a lady who loved to cook. In our talking I found out her favorite dish was chicken and waffles. I told her I would create a unique breakfast dish just for her. This version of a chicken and waffle benedict. can be made by anyone who can poach an egg. To make it as simple as possible use ready to toast waffles and brown and serve breaded chicken patties. All that is left is to poach eggs and warm some maple syrup and stir in some butter. Of course if you want to go all out make your own waffles and chicken.

Ingredients:

 2 large eggs

 2 heat and serve small waffles

 2 chicken patties

 maple syrup

 butter

 salt and pepper to taste

Procedure:

 1. Poach 2 eggs until the white are just set. While the eggs are poaching heat the waffles in a toaster and prepare the chicken patties as per the instructions.

 2. In a small sauce pan heat the maple syrup. When warm, whisk in the butter to your taste. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

 3. Start with a waffle, top with the chicken and a poached egg. Pour the butter syrup over the top and repeat. Serves one or two.
