Preparation

Step 1

Heat waffle iron to high.

Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium heat, add apples and saute 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned. Add cinnamon sticks and maple syrup, bring to a bubble and cook at a low boil while waffles cook.

Combine bacon, waffle mix, nutmeg, eggs, milk and stir to combine. Brush waffle iron with butter and fill with bacon-multigrain batter, cook to crisp.
Heat little olive or vegetable oil, a turn of the pan. Add chicken seasoned liberally with salt and pepper and cook a few minutes on each side until golden and cooked through.

Serve chicken on waffle topped with maple apples.
