Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.

Lay parchment paper on a baking tray.

Put 1/2 cup of bread crumbs in one bowl and 1 egg in another bowl.

Beat the egg until mixed.

Add 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika and 1 teaspoon of salt to the bread crumbs and mix well.

Dip 8 ounces of chicken first in the beaten egg, then in the bread crumbs.

Place the coated chicken on the baking tray.

Put the tray in the oven and bake for 20 to 30 minutes.

In a bowl, add 2 eggs and 2 heaping tablespoons of Greek yogurt.

Add 2 scoops of whey protein, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the bowl and mix everything well.

Spray the waffle maker with nonstick spray.

If you don't have a waffle maker, use a pan on the stovetop to make pancakes.

Pour the mixture into the waffle maker and let it set for about 3 to 4 minutes.

Check the chicken; it should be golden-brown when done.

Place the baked chicken on top of the waffles and drizzle with agave.
