Number Of Ingredients 30

2 pounds small new potatoes
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 medium shallot, diced
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup olive oil
3/4 cup plain low-fat Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon lemon zest
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 small habanero pepper, seeded and finely diced (about 1/2 teaspoon)
1 large clove garlic, finely grated
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 bunch collard greens, center ribs removed, thinly sliced crosswise (about 3 cups)
1/4 medium green cabbage, cored and thinly sliced (about 3 cups)
1 medium carrot, julienned (about 1 cup)
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, divided
2 eggs
3 dashes hot sauce
1 cup plain bread crumbs
Vegetable oil, for frying
4 (3-ounce) chicken cutlets, pounded to 1/4-inch thickness
1 frozen waffle
1/2 tablespoon butter
1/2 tablespoon honey

Steps:

  • Make the potato salad:
  • Place the potatoes in a pot of cold water with 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil and simmer, partially covered, until potatoes are tender when pierced with a knife, about 12 to 15 minutes. Drain and let cool. Meanwhile, whisk the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, mustards, vinegar, shallot, and pepper in a small bowl. Pour in the olive oil while whisking to emulsify the dressing. Quarter the potatoes and toss with the dressing in a large bowl. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  • Make the slaw:
  • Whisk the yogurt, lemon zest and juice, habanero pepper, garlic, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Place the collard greens, cabbage, and carrot in a large bowl and toss with the dressing to coat. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  • Fry the chicken:
  • Mix the flour, cayenne pepper, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a shallow bowl. Beat the 2 eggs with the hot sauce, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in another shallow bowl. Place the bread crumbs in a third shallow bowl. Fill a large Dutch oven or cast-iron skillet with oil to a depth of 1 1/2 inches and heat carefully to 350°F. Pat chicken dry and coat in flour, dip in egg mixture, and dredge in bread crumbs, pressing to adhere. Repeat with remaining 3 pieces chicken.
  • Fry 2 pieces chicken until golden brown and cooked through, turning once, 5 to 6 minutes. (The chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F.) Repeat with remaining 2 pieces chicken. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and drain on a wire rack placed over a sheet tray.
  • Assemble the sandwich:
  • Toast the waffle, spread with butter and honey, and cut in half. Place 1 chicken cutlet on a plate and layer with 1/4 cup slaw, 1/2 waffle, and 1/4 cup potato salad. Top with another chicken cutlet to form a sandwich. Repeat with remaining chicken cutlets to make a second sandwich.
  • The leftover potato salad and slaw can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.
