Peanut-Cilantro Ground Chicken and Waffles

  Dinner

Since sloppy joes, chicken and waffles, and Thai food are favorites at my house, I decided to combine them to create a unique and tasty dish. The slaw with peanut dressing adds extra crunch and flavor. For those with a peanut allergy, cashew butter can be used instead.
