Cereals are a great option for cooking fried or oven baked chicken and Quaker® cereals make a nice savory crust while incorporating whole grains and oatmeal. Lately in many cooking TV shows and local restaurants I have seen the chicken and waffles dish as a trend and me being a foodie had to test the recipe to be able to offer this trendy dish to my family but with my own flavors.
For this chicken and waffles recipe I decided to use Quaker® Oatmeal Squares and Quaker® Life Original that I found at my local Walmart store. Both cereals have a little bit of sweetness and the cinnamon notes go very well with the Mexican cumin. When making fried chicken the breading is very important, has to be crunchy and well seasoned to make the perfect fried chicken bite.
On my visit to Walmart I also found the cereals Quaker® Real Medleys® and Quaker® Simply Granola which look delicious and very soon I will be serving them to my family to begin the day with a delicious and healthy breakfast.
Having easy recipes to please the palate of my family is important for me yet I always like to add my latino flavors like the spiciness of the serrano peppers combined with a fresh seasonal ingredients like the strawberries as well as adding my favorite Mexican cumin condiment to provide smoky flavor to the dish.
This chicken and waffles recipe is freezer friendly, you can prepare the chicken tenderloins and the waffles ahead of time, freeze and bake for any occasion or for a quick dinner. These chicken and waffles are the perfect bite for parties, to serve as finger foods and also as a savory snack.
I invite you to enjoy breakfast for dinner by trying at home this easy Chicken and Waffles recipe with Spicy Strawberry Glaze.
