When KFC first introduced the mashed potato bowl a few years ago I was pretty excited to try it. Mashed potatoes, gravy, corn, and breaded chicken topped with cheese, how could this not be good? It was no surprise to me when I tried it and it actually was good. The problem with most fast food places is that they are often hit or miss. So after having many disappointing mashed potato bowls I decided it was time to make my own. The result was fantastic. The chicken pieces were well seasoned and I used Campbellās beef gravy for a nice rich flavor. This recipe is a little work but I can assure you itās worth it. This makes for a great dinner and if you enjoy the mashed potato bowls from KFC, you will enjoy this recipe.

I saw this recipe at Weight Watchers.
This looks really good! Think I might try it with grilled chicken! Do you think it would still taste as good with grilled chicken?
megan- I think it would taste excellent with grilled chicken!
It looks perfect!
I’m craving it just by looking at the picture.
It’s funny how everyone has their priorities. I’ve made this before with instant mashed potatoes and frozen chicken nuggets, but I would never consider using gravy from a jar. š Regardless, it is better at home, isn’t it?
I cooked this tonight and it was delicious! I did half of the chicken in the flour mix and the rest I dipped in the flour first then put it in the egg mixture then dipped it in Panko bread crumbs to give it a more crispy, fried taste. Thanks for the recipe. My hubby and I love your site!
This was so delicious when KFC first came out with it, and I haven’t eaten one in so long due to fast food inconsistency =P Can’t wait to make this! I’m sure it will be delicious!
I would TOTALLY eat this but I think my boyfriend would disapprove. lol. Yum!
This is a winner, I just love all of the ingrediants. Thank you
I will be making this at least twice a month. Perhaps more, if it is enjoyed by my Grandchildren as much as it is by me.
I made this last night and it was SOOO good. My husband loved it so much I got a high five over dinner. š LOVE your site!
We make this at home all the time but we added a grand’s biscuit molded to fit the bowl right between the corn and gravy and I will never go back … Mmmn
A little work? That’s way too much work for 4 servings. Easier to drive down and get one. And I’ve never had a bad one. Maybe it’s your KFC if you got that many.
