PEANUT-CILANTRO GROUND CHICKEN AND WAFFLES

Peanut-Cilantro Ground Chicken and Waffles image

Since sloppy joes, Thai food, and chicken and waffles are all family favorites at my house, I decided to mix all three to create a tasty dish. The crunchy slaw with Asian peanut dressing adds crunch and flavor. -Arlene Erlbach, Morton Grove, Illinois
