The odds
I love it when things stack up in my favor.
Like these homemade chicken tenders stacked upon those buttery waffles.
See what I mean?
Even when I have to do the stacking for myself! Chicken & Waffles are a perfect pair. It’s salty and sweet. A balance of tenderness and crunch. Satisfaction on a plate.

Yum. Love waffles but haven’t gotetn used to the sweetened ones that are often sold here in France. Today was a holiday with long, leisurely lunches so these may just be the answer for something to munch on tonight!
