Author: Betsy Life

Instructions
- To make the waffles
- Preheat waffle iron
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking powder and sugar. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together milk, butter, and eggs.
- Stir wet ingredients into flour mixture until fully combined.
- Spoon batter into waffle iron and cook until done (mine has an indicator light that says when the waffle is ready). Repeat with remaining batter.
- To make the sandwich
- Heat a skillet over medium high heat. Butter the outside of two waffle halves.
- Place one half, butter side down in the hot skillet. Top with ½ of the cheese, chicken, arugula and remaining cheese. Top with other waffle half.
