"Fried" Chicken and Waffles

I'll never forget the first time my husband took me to Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles....it was scrumptious. I had the fried chicken and two waffles and ate every piece...it was amazing. I wanted to recreate my own healthy version at home...so I searched for the perfect recipe. I tried this recipe from one of my favorite blogs and it turned out really great. For the waffles I bought the Trader Joes wheat free toaster waffles with pure maple syrup...delicious.

Ingredients:

• 4 medium skinless chicken breasts 
• 2 1/2 cups bran flakes
• 3 tsp kosher salt, less if you are using regular salt
