Ingredients
  

For the chicken
  • 1 pound chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces You can swap for turkey.
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt Adjust to taste.
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper Adjust to taste.
For the bowls
  • 2 cups chicken gravy Can be store-bought for quick preparation.
  • 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 Use half-and-half for creamier potatoes.
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Boil the potatoes: Start by placing the peeled and cubed potatoes in a large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  2. Cook the chicken: While the potatoes are boiling, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and thoroughly cooked. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Prepare the gravy: In the same skillet, add the chicken gravy. Heat it gently over low heat until warmed through.
  4. Mash the potatoes: Once the potatoes are tender, drain them and return to the pot. Add butter and milk, then mash until smooth and creamy.
  5. Heat the corn: In a medium pot, warm the corn kernels until heated through.
  6. Assemble the bowls: Start by adding a generous scoop of mashed potatoes to each serving bowl. Top with cooked chicken pieces, warm corn, and pour over the hot chicken gravy.
  7. Add cheese: Sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese while everything is still hot to let the cheese melt slightly.
  8. Garnish and serve: If desired, add a sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley for a touch of color. Serve immediately and enjoy!
