This past weekend while I was kicking back on the couch and flipping through the channels on the TV I happened to see an advertisement for the KFC Double Down<\/strong>. Now I have to admit this unique fast food item caught my attention and fired up my appetite… <\/p>\n

KFC Double Down – (Now Available In Canada!)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"KFC<\/a><\/p>\n

\nTo Quote KFC’s website…<\/p>\n

This one-of-a-kind sandwich features two thick and juicy boneless white meat chicken filets, two pieces of bacon, two melted slices of Monterey Jack and pepper jack cheese and Colonel’s Sauce. This product is so meaty, there\u2019s no room for a bun!\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Now if you live in North America chances are that you have also seen this ad before on TV. And who knows, maybe you’ve even indulged in one of these tasty meaty chicken sandwiches yourself…
\nAfter all, I think we can all agree that this does look pretty damn good!<\/p>\n

After seeing this ad several times, the image of mouth watering crispy chicken, bacon, and cheese was stuck in my brain and I was running out of will power to turn down such a delicious treat…<\/p>\n

I was about to throw in the towel, break down, and jump in my car and head on over to KFC…
\nBut then I remembered that my buddy Dave Ruel had a killer Low Fat Crispy Chicken Nugget Recipe<\/a> in his Anabolic Cooking Cookbook. <\/p>\n

So this got my creative juices flowing…
\nCould I make a “Healthy”<\/em> Version of KFC’s Double Down?<\/strong><\/p>\n

One that tasted just as good as the Colonel’s “Secret”<\/em> Recipe, but wasn’t loaded with artery clogging grease and saturated fat. <\/p>\n

The answer is YES!<\/strong> I could make a “Healthy” Version…
\nAll I had to do was modify Dave’s Low Fat Crispy Chicken Nugget Recipe<\/a> and use whole chicken breasts instead.<\/p>\n

So in place of the greasy deep fried chicken breasts,
\nI made my own home made “Baked Crispy Chicken Breasts”<\/em> using Dave’s recipe.<\/p>\n

In place of the fatty bacon strips,
\nI used low fat turkey bacon.<\/p>\n

In place of the regular cheese,
\nI used fat free cheese slices.<\/p>\n

In place of the Colonel’s “Secret”<\/em> Sauce,
\nI used low fat mayo and BBQ sauce.<\/p>\n

I have to admit that this turned out even better than I expected.
\nIt made for one Delicious Protein Packed, Low Fat, Healthy Muscle Building Meal.<\/strong><\/p>\n

You can compare the nutritional info below for yourself:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n
\nKFC’s Double Down<\/strong><\/u><\/p>\n

– 32 grams of fat
\n– 11 grams of carbs
\n– 53 grams of protein\n<\/td>\n

\nLee’s “Healthy” Double Down<\/strong><\/u><\/p>\n

– 13 grams of fat
\n– 11 grams of carbs
\n– 64 grams of protein\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

\nBecause my version uses baked crispy chicken it has less than half the fat. And by using turkey bacon and fat free cheese it cuts the fat even more and bumps up the protein content!<\/p>\n

I highly recommend you give this High Protein Muscle Building Double Down<\/strong> recipe a try for yourself. And please leave me a comment below letting me know how you like it.<\/p>\n
