This Copycat KFC Bowl is the ultimate comfort food made at home! Layered with creamy mashed potatoes, crispy popcorn chicken, sweet corn, rich brown gravy, and shredded cheddar cheese—ready in just 20 minutes!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 servings mashed potatoes (instant or homemade)

  • 1 (24 oz) package frozen popcorn chicken, cooked

  • 1 (15 oz) can corn, drained and heated

  • 1 packet beef gravy, prepared

  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese


Instructions

  1. Prepare mashed potatoes according to package instructions or use your favorite homemade recipe.

  2. Cook popcorn chicken in the oven or air fryer until crispy.

  3. Heat corn in a small saucepan or microwave until hot.

  4. Prepare beef gravy following packet directions.

  5. Assemble bowls: Start with a base of mashed potatoes, layer on corn, then popcorn chicken.

  6. Drizzle gravy generously over the top.

  7. Top with shredded cheddar cheese and microwave the bowl for 30–60 seconds if needed to melt cheese.

  8. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

Swap beef gravy for chicken, turkey, or vegetarian options.

Use mac and cheese instead of mashed potatoes for a KFC mac bowl twist.

Make it spicy by tossing chicken in buffalo sauce before layering.

Store leftovers unassembled for best texture when reheating.
