Healthy KFC Bowl Recipe

This healthy KFC bowl recipe will soon be a family favorite!

My original recipe used natural heaven mashed hearts of palm with canned mashed potatoes to make the mash for this dish.  To make this dish even easier, I simply use prepared mashed potatoes that you find in the refrigerator section of your grocery store.

What are the ingredients in a KFC bowl?

• Mashed potatoes
• corn
• brown gravy
• cheese
• popcorn chicken

For my popcorn chicken, I used my KFC chicken recipe, but rewrote this KFC bowl recipe to serve one.  You can obviously double, triple or quadruple the recipe if need be.

Tips and tricks of making this quick KFC bowl?

• Use packaged brown gravy mix that you can mix together in the microwave.  This recipe only needs 1/4 cup of the gravy, so you can save the rest for another dish
• Prepared mashed potatoes. No need to wait for potatoes to boil to make mashed potatoes

Can you air fry the chicken?

Absolutely – but I realize that not everyone has an air fryer.  Simply cook for 6 minutes at 360 degrees, then 4 minutes at 400 degrees, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165.
