STEPS

1

Muddle 4 blackberries in the bottom of a microwave-safe serving jar. Add chile powder, red pepper flakes, and maple syrup. Stir briskly until combined.

2

Drizzle chicken tenders with orange juice in a shallow dish and season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate. In a separate bowl, whisk orange zest, coconut flour, almond flour, garlic, and paprika for dredging.

3

Mix gluten-free flour, baking powder, rosemary, thyme, and sea salt for waffle batter.

4

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and waffle iron. Spray waffle iron with cooking spray.

5

Beat butter and maple syrup until creamy. Add eggs one at a time. Alternate adding gluten-free flour mix and almond milk. Stir in Cheddar cheese. Pour batter into waffle iron and cook until crisp and brown, 6-8 minutes per waffle. Keep warm in oven.

6

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Dip chicken tenders into dredging mixture. Place on the baking sheet.

7

Bake chicken for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through. Ensure internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

8

Microwave syrup for 1 minute until warm. Top waffles with chicken tenders, garnish with blackberries, and drizzle with spicy syrup.
