Have you ever had the famous KFC fried chicken bowl? Well, this is exactly where this recipe is inspired. This fried chicken casserole is very easy to make and the perfect comfort meal. Super flavorful and will have you and your family coming back for more!
This casserole has crispy fried chicken, creamy mashed potatoes, corn, and brown gravy, just like the KFC chicken bowl. The best part of this copy cat dish is that it’s made fresh right at home. You can use simple ingredients to make it even easier to prepare. Instead of making homemade mashed potatoes, I usually go for the store bought pouches. Now, I prefer to batter and fry my own chicken pieces and make my brown gravy from scratch (Check out my brown gravy recipe). You can buy frozen tenders or popcorn chicken. The gravy can also be bought pre-made in the store. This isn’t a casserole without topping with cheese, so I use shredded cheddar. The bake time is about 40-50 minutes. Let’s jump into this easy recipe.
