Copycat KFC Famous Bowl (KFC style)

American flavors, weeknight effort. Chicken breast meets panko breadcrumbs in a 35-minute dinner worth keeping in rotation. It is weeknight cooking that still hits your targets — 38 grams of protein per serving. No specialty equipment and nothing hard to find at a regular grocery store.

Ingredients

• 1.25 lb Chicken breast
• 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 2 cups Instant mashed potato flakes
• 2 cups Frozen corn
• 1 cup Low-fat shredded cheddar
• 1 packet Brown gravy mix
• 1/2 cup Egg whites
• 1 tsp Smoked paprika
• 1 tsp Garlic powder

Steps

1. Season the chicken strips with salt, paprika, and garlic powder; dredge in egg whites then panko, pressing hard.
2. Air-fry at 400°F for 12 minutes, flipping once, until deep golden and the juices run clear.
3. Cook the mashed potato flakes per package with water and a knob of butter; whip until fluffy.
4. Warm the corn with a pinch of salt and the gravy in a saucepan until the gravy thickens.
5. Layer bowls: mash, corn, chopped crispy chicken, gravy rivers, cheddar snow.
6. Broil 2 minutes to melt the cheese into every layer — serve immediately.
