CHICKEN AND STUFFED WAFFLES

Steps:

• For the waffles: Set a medium saute pan over high heat and coat with some canola oil. Sprinkle the chicken breast all over with salt and pepper and cook 4 to 5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from pan and allow to cool. Return the pan to high heat and coat with more oil. Add the onions and peppers and saute for 2 to 3 minutes. Season with the cumin and some salt and pepper. Finely dice the chicken breast and fold in with the peppers and onions. Mix well, and then remove from the pan and set aside to cool.
• Preheat a waffle iron. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, mix together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Make a well in the center and add the milk, melted butter and eggs. Mix together with a whisk, working your way from the center out to gradually incorporate the dry ingredients. This helps avoid lumps. Fold in the pepper and chicken mixture. Ladle the mixture onto the waffle iron and cook until the waffles are puffy and golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Place on a wire rack over a sheet tray and keep warm in the oven as you cook the waffles and the chicken (this will also help them crisp up even more).
• For the chicken and gravy: Set up a breading station with a container each for the 1 cup flour, whisked eggs and panko breadcrumbs. Sprinkle the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Then take each of the chicken breasts and lightly dredge in the flour. Dip in the eggs then coat in the panko. Pour the oil into a large nonstick saute pan and set over medium-high heat. When hot, add the breaded chicken breasts. Cook until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes on each side, and then set aside to drain on paper towels. There should be about 3 tablespoons of oil remaining, if not pour some out. Then add the remaining 3 tablespoons flour, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, onion powder and cayenne. Whisk together to make a roux and cook until brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the milk while whisking, and then season well with salt and plenty of ground black pepper. Simmer until the sauce is slightly thickened and smooth. Serve the chicken on top of the waffles and pour the gravy over the top. Drizzle with some maple syrup and serve with Fiery Fieri Hot Sauce on the side.
• Remove the green stems of the chiles and split down the middle to open them up. Place in a medium saucepan with the onions, salt and 1 1/2 cups water. Place over high heat and bring to a boil. Cook until the water has almost completely evaporated, 10 to 12 minutes. Place the mixture in a food processor and add the white vinegar. Pulse 6 or 7 times until the chiles have broken down. Pour into a sieve over a bowl to strain and use the back of a rubber spatula to squeeze out the chile pulp. Stir in the agave nectar. Cool the hot sauce. Use immediately or store in an airtight glass jar or bottle to keep. Makes about 1 cup.

STUFFING WAFFLES WITH CRANBERRY CONCORD SYRUP

Steps:

• For the cranberry concord syrup: Combine the cranberries, grape jam, grape juice, sugar and orange zest in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries are very soft and easily break apart when pushed with a wooden spoon, about 20 minutes. Do not simmer too hard or the sauce may boil over.
• For the stuffing waffles: Meanwhile, preheat a waffle iron to medium high and spray the top and bottom with cooking spray.
• Break up the stuffing into small crumbles in a medium bowl, then mix in the milk and eggs.
• Pack the stuffing mixture evenly into the waffle iron, then close it and cook until golden brown and crisp, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate and tent loosely with foil. Repeat with the remaining stuffing mixture.
• Serve the waffles topped with the warm cranberry concord syrup. Any leftover syrup can be refrigerated for 1 week.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly butter a 2- to 3-quart glass or ceramic baking dish.
• In a dry saute pan over medium heat, toast the walnuts until lightly golden brown, about 5 minutes. Cool and chop.
• Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking up any clumps with a wooden spoon, until brown, about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium and add the celery, onion and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 8 minutes. Stir in the cranberries and cook to just slightly plump them, about 1 minute, then remove from the heat.
• In a large mixing bowl, add the stuffing mix, sage, thyme and walnuts. In a large measuring cup, mix together the stock and egg and then add it to the mixing bowl along with the vegetable-sausage mixture. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper and stir gently to combine thoroughly.
• Transfer the stuffing mixture to the baking dish and bake until hot and golden brown on top, 30 to 40 minutes.

LEFTOVER STUFFING WAFFLES

• Spoon batter over the preheated waffle iron, spreading it out evenly close to the lid.
• Cook on medium-high heat until the waffles are browned and release from the waffle iron, 10 to 15 minutes. Serve warm.

STUFFING WAFFLES

Steps:

• Mix the corn muffin and bread crumbs in a large bowl. Sauté the onion and celery in butter until soft. Add to crumbs along with salt, pepper, parsley and poultry seasoning. Smell and taste to adjust seasoning. Let sit out overnight to dry a bit and for the flavors to blend. Adjust the seasoning again the next day.
• When you want to make the waffles mix the egg into the bread mixture. Add the stock a little at a time and mix well. You want the stuffing mix to be wetter than if you we baking in a pan - about the consistency of thick pancake batter. Bake according to manufacturer's directions using enough 'batter' to cover the cooking plate completely.
• Makes six 4x4.5-inch waffles.
