AMISH CHICKEN AND WAFFLES

Steps:

• Pull the meat from the roasted chicken and cut or shred into bite-size pieces. Keep warm in a 250-degree oven until ready to assemble and serve.
• Preheat a 4-square waffle maker.
• Separate the egg yolk and white, and reserve the egg white in a small bowl.
• Melt the butter in a small saucepan and remove from heat to cool slightly.
• Whisk the egg yolk and milk together in a large bowl.
• Add the melted butter, flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt to the egg and milk. Whisk together until just barely combined; some lumps may remain.
• Beat the egg white by hand or with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
• Gently fold the egg white into the batter with a spatula.
• Grease the waffle maker, if necessary, and pour the batter evenly into the waffle iron. Depending on the depth and size of your waffle maker, you may have a bit of leftover batter. Cook according to your waffle maker's specifications.
• Melt the butter in a heavy-bottomed saucepan or deep skillet over medium-low heat.
• Sprinkle the flour evenly over the melted butter and whisk to incorporate into a roux.
• Cook, whisking frequently, until the roux turns toasty golden. It will remain pale for a few minutes, then toast quickly, so keep an eye on it.
• Drizzle in the chicken stock, whisking constantly as it's added. The flour will clump, but continue to whisk and the gravy will smooth itself out.
• Add the half and half and cook, stirring frequently, until the gravy thickens and comes to a simmer.
• Remove from the heat and season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Place a waffle on a plate, top with shredded roast chicken, and drizzle with gravy. Add mashed potatoes if you're into it. That's all you need.
