Ingredients
Scale
Mashed Potatoes
- 2 cups mashed potatoes
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Chicken and Toppings
- 2 cups cooked popcorn chicken or breaded chicken bites
- 1 cup corn kernels
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup chicken gravy
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare Mashed Potatoes: Heat the mashed potatoes with butter, milk, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder over medium heat on the stovetop until the mixture is creamy and smooth, stirring occasionally to combine all ingredients evenly.
- Warm Popcorn Chicken: Heat the cooked popcorn chicken according to package instructions or until heated through and crispy, either in the oven, air fryer, or stovetop pan as preferred.
- Heat Corn and Gravy: Separately warm the corn kernels and chicken gravy on the stovetop or microwave until piping hot.
- Assemble the Bowls: Spoon a generous portion of the creamy mashed potatoes into the bottom of each bowl. Layer the warm popcorn chicken evenly on top.
- Add Corn and Gravy: Spoon the hot corn over the chicken followed by drizzling warm chicken gravy evenly over all the layers.
- Finish with Cheese and Garnish: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese atop each bowl and garnish with chopped green onions for a fresh, flavorful touch.
- Serve Immediately: Serve the bowls while hot to enjoy the perfect combination of textures and flavors.
Notes
- Use rotisserie or grilled chicken pieces instead of popcorn chicken for a lighter, less breaded option.
- Add crispy bacon bits or a dollop of sour cream on top for additional flavor and richness.
- Adjust seasoning in mashed potatoes to your preference, adding more garlic powder or herbs if desired.
- For a quicker option, use pre-made mashed potatoes and microwave the components.
