Enjoy layers of creamy mashed potatoes, succulent chicken, and rich gravy, topped with melted cheese and sweet corn for a hearty, satisfying meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
  • 1⁄2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups chicken gravy
  • 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned; if canned, drain first)
  • 4 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1⁄4 cup butter
  • 1⁄2 cup milk
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

1. Begin by preparing the mashed potatoes. Boil the peeled and cubed potatoes in a large pot of salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

2. While the potatoes are boiling, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bite-sized chicken pieces, and season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.

3. Cook the chicken for about 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

4. In the same skillet, pour in the 2 cups of chicken gravy. Heat it gently over low heat.

5. Once the potatoes are tender, drain them and return them to the pot. Add the butter and milk, and mash until smooth and creamy.

6. In a medium pot, heat the corn kernels until warm.

7. To assemble the bowls, start by placing a generous scoop of mashed potatoes in each serving bowl.

8. Top the mashed potatoes with the cooked chicken pieces, warm corn, and then pour over some hot chicken gravy.

9. Sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese while everything is still hot, allowing the cheese to melt slightly.

10. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if you like, and serve immediately.

Notes

For an extra creaminess, add a tablespoon of sour cream to the mashed potatoes.

Substitute the chicken breast with boneless, skinless chicken thighs for more flavor.

Try adding other vegetables such as green beans or carrots for additional nutrients.

Using homemade gravy can elevate the dish with a personal touch.

If you’re looking for a spicier kick, sprinkle some red pepper flakes over the bowl before serving.
