We’ve all heard the news – the KFC Double Down Burger is coming back! This bunless burger with a cult following has a whopping 540 calories. It’s an indulgent dish that’s worth the hype, but for some, not the calories. That’s why we decided to create a healthier version of KFC’s Double Down Burger – still satisfying but with fewer calories. Instead of deep frying the chicken breasts, we pan-sear them instead. Instead of full-fat cheese, we use low-fat. The end product is a Double Down Burger that’s healthier than the original but just as satisfying.

Tips

For an even healthier version, simply roast the chicken breast in the oven instead of dredging with flour and pan searing beforehand. For a more indulgent version, add a slice of Canadian or American bacon in between.

Ingredients

2 pcs skinless chicken breast fillet
1 tbsp Knorr Chi
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp paprika
salt and pepper, to taste
2 pcs large lettuce leaves
4 pcs tomato slices
4 pcs low-fat cheese slices
4 tbsps Lady's Choice real mayonnaise

Cooking Method

Preheat the oven to 200°F or 400°F.
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, and pepper.
In a shallow bowl, mix together the flour and paprika.
Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken breasts until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side.
Transfer the chicken to a baking sheet and place a slice of cheese on each chicken breast.
Bake in the preheated oven for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted. Take out chicken out of the oven and prepare to assemble.

Assembly

To assemble the burger, place a lettuce leaf on top of one chicken breast, followed by two slices of tomato.
On the other chicken breast, spread 2 teaspoons of Lady's Choice Real Mayonnaise. Place it on top of the other chicken breast, mayo side down.
Serve immediately and enjoy this delicious, yet healthy, version of KFC’s Double Down Burger.
