Chicken and Waffles, Swedish Style

This salty (fried chicken) and sweet (waffles with maple syrup) combination is quintessential American soul food.

While the traditional version tends to be heavier and greasier – with thicker waffles and deep-fried thickly coated chicken, our Swedish version consisted of thinner Swedish våfflor (waffles), lightly battered chicken, and lowfat Omega-3/6 fortified Bregott butter.

The verdict? Just as good!
