How to Make Pa Dutch Chicken Waffles

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large stew pan over high heat. Season chicken pieces (about 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces) generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Add chicken to the pan and brown on all sides.
  3. Add 2 stalks celery (diced), 1 carrot (diced), 1/2 onion (diced), 1 bay leaf, and 2 cups of chicken broth to the pan.
  4. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until chicken is very tender, about 1 hour.
  5. Remove chicken from the pot and set aside to cool slightly.
  6. Once cool, remove any fat and bones from the chicken. Shred or pull the chicken apart into small pieces.
  7. Skim excess fat from the broth.
  8. Discard the vegetables and bay leaf.
  9. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and 1/2 cup cold water until smooth, creating a slurry.
  10. Bring the broth to a gentle boil.
  11. Gradually whisk in the flour-water slurry, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
  12. Continue stirring until the gravy reaches your desired thickness. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  13. Add the shredded chicken to the gravy and keep warm over very low heat.
  14. While the chicken simmers, prepare waffles according to your waffle iron's instructions and your favorite waffle recipe (about 10-12 waffles).
  15. If necessary, keep cooked waffles warm in a 200°F (93°C) oven.
  16. Serve the waffles topped with generous portions of the chicken and gravy. Enjoy!
