Equipment
- Oven-safe bowls or crocks (4 total)
- Rimmed baking sheet
- Broiler (in your oven)
- Saucepan or microwave (to warm gravy, corn, and potatoes)
- Cheese grater (if shredding cheese fresh)
- Tongs or spoon (for assembling bowls)
Ingredients
- 4 cups prepared mashed potatoes warmed
- 1 cup corn kernels warmed
- ½ cup shredded cheddar
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella
- 1 bag 32 oz cooked chicken tenders
- 1 cup brown gravy warmed
- Green onion or parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Warm mashed potatoes, corn, chicken tenders, and gravy.
- Preheat your oven to broil.
- Divide mashed potatoes into 4 oven-safe bowls. Top each with corn, cheeses, and cooked chicken.
- Place bowls on a baking sheet and broil 2–3 minutes, until cheese is melted.
- Remove from oven and drizzle with warm brown gravy.
- Garnish with green onion and serve hot.
Notes
- For meal prep: Assemble the bowls without broiling, cover, and refrigerate. Broil just before eating.
- Extra crispy chicken: Use an air fryer instead of baking.
- Gravy shortcut: A good-quality jarred gravy works in a pinch.
- Make it meatless: Use vegetarian “chicken” tenders or crispy chickpeas.
