We love eating at Roaster's here in Karachi and every time we are there I order this delicious combination of waffle and chicken with rich creamy white sauce. This is my all time favorite dish and so I decided to recreate it myself and to my surprise it wasn't so difficult.
The Chicken and Waffle is a bold dish, since waffle is not very well known among Pakistani population and secondly, it is typically a breakfast item and not served for lunch or dinner. Since waffle is slightly sweet in taste, most people cannot conceive the idea of having waffle with a savory combination but for me it is a winner combination and I just cant have enough of it.
It would be best if fresh home made waffles are served with this dish but I used frozen variety due to which it lost a point :(
Nevertheless, it was delicious and a must try recipe!
Since I made it in kind of hurry so I don't have step by step pictures of this recipe but I will try to elaborate as much as I can in the recipe description. Ohkay?

I've never had chicken and waffles together... this looks fantastic and so comforting!
ReplyDeleteI've never actually had them together either, but the combination doesn't weird me out any. I would imagine it more as a breakfast item, though....with a white gravy, it really wouldn't be much different than having a slightly sweet biscuit.
