Make the chicken:

1. 01Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil.
2. 02Put panko in a medium fry pan and drizzle with olive oil. Toast over medium heat until golden brown, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. Set aside.
3. 03Season chicken strips with salt, pepper and mustard powder.
4. 04In a medium bowl, whisk together egg, honey, mustard and soy milk.
5. 05Dredge chicken in flour and shake off excess. Then dip in egg mixture and let excess drip off. Finally, coat chicken with toasted panko, pressing to adhere.
6. 06Place chicken on a prepared baking sheet and bake until cooked through and golden brown, about 15-20 minutes.

Make the waffles:

1. 071. Preheat a Belgian-style waffle iron.
2. 08In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, whisk together eggs, soy milk, oil, remaining 1/4 cup sugar, baking soda, and vanilla. Whisk wet ingredients into dry mixture just until combined.
3. 09Ladle 1 cup batter into waffle iron. Cook until golden and crisp, about 6 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter, whisking between batches for even cooking. Serve warm.

Make the salad:

1. 10In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice and honey.
2. 11Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add spinach to bowl and toss to coat.
