Is there anything better than a Slimming World Friendly KFC Fakeaway recipe?
Scroll down for full recipe and instructions
Although I have never been to America, I feel as though I have learnt a lot about American culture from all the reality TV shows I watch! I was watching something the other day, I can't even remember what, and they were eating something off the KFC menu, 'Famous Bowl.
Creamy mashed potatoes, sweet corn and bite-sized chunks of crispy chicken are layered together then drizzled with home-style gravy and topped with a perfect blend of three shredded cheeses'.
This is not something I have ever seen on a UK KFC menu, nor is it remotely Slimming World friendly, so I set to work.

Creamy mashed potatoes, sweet corn and bite-sized chunks of crispy chicken are layered together then drizzled with home-style gravy and topped with a perfect blend of three shredded cheeses'.
Ingredients
- 200g Mashed potato per person
- 40g shredded light cheddar per person
- 1 tin sweetcorn, drained
- For the chicken
- 2 large chicken breasts (or cuts of chicken of your choice)
- 4 slices of 400g wholemeal bread
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1 teaspoon chilli powder
- 1 teaspoon ground sage
- 1 teaspoon basil
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- 2 eggs
- For the gravy
- 1 large red onion, halved and sliced
- 2 cloves of garlic, crushed
- 1 tablespoon Italian herbs
- 720ml of beef stock
- splash of balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon of tomato paste
- spray oil
- black pepper
Instructions
- Spray a large saucepan over a medium heat with some spray oil.
- Add the onion and garlic and cook until caramelised, add some stock to prevent the onions from sticking to the pan.
- Add the herbs, remaining stock, tomato paste and a splash of balsamic vinegar, bring to the boil and reduce heat.
- Allow to simmer covered for approx 45 mins to bring out the flavour.
- Meanwhile, slice the chicken breasts into small, bite size pieces.
- Blitz the bread until fine breadcrumbs in a blender. Put into a bowl and add all of the seasonings and mix until everything is blended together to create your coating.
- Crack the eggs and mix together. The chicken needs to be dipped in the egg and then to the breadcrumb mixture and repeated to get an even coating.
- Bake the chicken in the oven for 20-25 mins on a medium heat, until cooked through.
- When the gravy has cooked for the required time, add to a blender and blitz until smooth.
- For the bowl to be like the KFC version, it needs to be layered as 1. mashed potato, 2. gravy, 3. sweetcorn, 4. chicken, 5. cheese, 6, gravy.
