Preparation

Step 1

Place cereal in a sealable plastic bag and seal. Using a meat mallet, crush to a breadcrumb-like consistency. Add 1/8 tsp. salt, 1/8 tsp. pepper, and garlic powder, and mix well. Transfer crumbs to a plate and set aside.

Place chicken cutlets in a bowl and season with remaining 1/8 tsp. salt and 1/8 tsp. pepper. Top with egg substitute and flip cutlets over to evenly coat. One at a time, transfer cutlets to the plate of crumbs and evenly coat on both sides.

Bring a large skillet sprayed with nonstick spray to medium-high heat on the stove. Add breaded cutlets and cook until insides are fully cooked and outsides are crispy, about 4 minutes per side.

Meanwhile, toast waffles and place each on a plate. Pour 1/4 cup syrup over each waffle, and top with a cooked chicken cutlet.

If you like, serve with gravy for dipping. SO GOOD!
