Vegan Chicken and Waffles
Share This
Season 2, Episode 3 of “New Day New Chef” delivers another mouth-watering vegan creation from actor turned chef, Courtney Grant. This time, he brings a plant-based twist to a classic comfort food favorite: Chicken and Waffles made with oyster mushrooms for a delicious and cruelty-free start to your day.
A Plant-Based Comfort Classic
Courtney’s Vegan Chicken and Waffles recipe is a cruelty-free twist on the traditional dish, using oyster mushrooms as a flavorful and satisfying substitute for chicken. When battered and fried to golden perfection, these mushrooms become crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, making them the ideal component.
Earlier in the episode, Courtney also showcased his Power-Packed Protein Balls. Made with a mix of nuts, dates, and maple syrup, these protein balls are a perfect snack for boosting energy and nutrition. Rich in protein, omega-3s, fiber, and antioxidants, they’re a delicious and healthy treat you’ll love anytime of day.
