Copycat KFC Bowl Recipe
This copycat KFC bowl recipe is a super quick and easy dinner that is sure to please!
Equipment
- 1 Frying Pan
- 2 pots
- Bowls
Ingredients
- 1 package Tyson Any'tizers Popcorn Chicken
- 1 package Idahoan Family Size Buttery Homestyle Mashed Potatoes
- 1 can Sweet Whole Kernel Corn drained
- 1 jar Heinz Homestyle Chicken Gravy
- 1 cup Sharp Shredded Cheddar
- 3 cups Vegetable Oil measurement is approximate
Instructions
- Place your vegetable oil in a frying pan. The measurement is approximate and will depend on the size of your pan, but you will want the oil to come up at least 1/2". Turn the oil on medium/high heat and allow it to heat through.
- Place as many popcorn chicken bites in the heated oil as will fit in a single layer. Allow these to cook for about 3-5 minutes per side, or until cooked through and golden brown on the outside. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate and continue this process until all chicken has been cooked.
- While the chicken is cooking, prepare the gravy and mashed potatoes according to the package instructions.
- Drain the whole kernel corn, and place this in a microwave safe bowl. Add 1 Tbsp of butter (optional) and heat in the microwave until fully heated. This usually takes about 1 minute 30 seconds in my microwave.
- Once the chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy, and corn are all cooked or heated, start assembling your bowls.
- Place a layer of mashed potatoes in the bottom of the bowl. Place a thin layer of corn on top of the mashed potatoes. Top the potatoes and corn with your desired amount of chicken pieces. Pour about 1/4 cup of gravy overtop of the chicken, corn and potatoes. Top with shredded cheddar cheese.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
Note: when using the meal prep containers I noted in my post, you can place the lid on the bowl after adding the cheese, and the contained heat will melt the cheese.
