Copycat KFC Bowls

 

I believe there are two types of people in this world.

 

Those who love their food separated on their plates, and will one at a time, and then those who love to throw it all together, mix it up and enjoy a forkful of a bunch of different flavors and textures together.

 

I don't know which one of those you are, but I will tell you that I fall into the second group.

 

Give me a bowl of this or that, a plate with everything mixed together, and I'm a happy girl.

 

Matter of fact, when we go to Chili's for lunch or dinner, I usually get the Tex Mex bowl which is rice, grilled chicken, black beans and corn, avocado and pico de gallo etc.  It's like Heaven on a plate for me.

 

 

I'm sure it won't surprise you then, when I say that our trips to KFC, usually end up with me picking one of the bowl meals. 

 

KFC Bowls consist of just a few ingredients, but are some of my favorites to order.  I knew I wanted to recreate it at home, and really, there's nothing to this, especially when most of the ingredients, aside from the homemade mashed potatoes, are store bought and readily available in your pantry and freezer.

These may look like they won't be filling, but trust me, they are.  I couldn't finish mine.

Copycat KFC Bowls

 

 

Ingredients

Homemade mashed potatoes

Popcorn chicken

Sweet Corn

Brown Gravy

Shredded cheese

 

 

Instructions

For this recipe, I made my mashed potatoes as I always do, but included a little bit of cream and some cream cheese as well, to make them creamier.

 

Cook your popcorn chicken according to packed.  Warm up the corn.  Make the brown gravy according to package directions.

 

In a bowl, spoon on your mashed potatoes, top with corn, popcorn chicken and gravy. Sprinkle on some shredded cheese.

That is it.  Quick and easy to throw together, a pretty inexpensive meal and filling too.
