Ingredients

For the Chicken

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs
½ cup almond flour
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 large egg
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp paprika
½ tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
½ cup coconut oil or avocado oil for frying

For the Waffles

1 cup almond flour
¼ cup coconut flour
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
4 large eggs
½ cup unsweetened almond milk
2 tbsp melted butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp erythritol optional, for sweetness

Instructions

In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
In another bowl, whisk the egg until well beaten.
Dip each chicken thigh into the egg, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat it thoroughly in the almond flour mixture. Set aside on a plate.
In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, carefully add the coated chicken thighs. Fry for about 5-6 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).
Remove the chicken from the skillet and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
In a large bowl, mix the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and erythritol (if using).
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
Grease the waffle iron with a little oil or cooking spray and pour an appropriate amount of batter into the center. Close the lid and cook according to your waffle iron's instructions, usually around 3-5 minutes, until golden and crispy.
Place one waffle on a plate, top with a piece of fried chicken, and then add another waffle on top.
For an extra touch, drizzle with sugar-free syrup or a dollop of whipped cream cheese.
