Ingredients
Chicken
- 1 package (20 to 30 oz) frozen breaded popcorn chicken
Mashed Potatoes
- 2 packages (24 oz each) Bob Evans Original Mashed Potatoes
Vegetables
- 1 can (14.5 oz) whole kernel corn
Cheese
- 1 cup shredded colby-jack cheese
Gravy
- 1 cup beef gravy
Instructions
- Cook the popcorn chicken: Cook the frozen breaded popcorn chicken according to the package directions. For best results, bake in the oven or use an air fryer to achieve a crispy texture.
- Warm the sides: While the chicken is cooking, heat the canned whole kernel corn in a small pot over medium heat until warm. Prepare the Bob Evans Original Mashed Potatoes according to package instructions and divide evenly into 4 bowls. Also, warm the beef gravy following the package directions.
- Assemble the bowls: On top of each bowl of mashed potatoes, add one-quarter cup of shredded colby-jack cheese, one-third cup of the drained corn kernels, and several pieces of the crispy popcorn chicken strips.
- Finish and serve: Drizzle each bowl generously with the hot beef gravy, ensuring all ingredients are warm and combined. Serve immediately and enjoy your comforting homestyle chicken mashed potato bowls.
Notes
- Cooking the popcorn chicken in an air fryer yields a crispier texture compared to baking in an oven.
- Ensure the beef gravy and mashed potatoes are hot before assembling to keep the bowl warm and appealing.
- You can substitute colby-jack cheese with cheddar or your preferred melting cheese.
- Drain the corn well to avoid excess liquid in the bowl.
- This recipe serves 4 bowls but can easily be doubled by using two packages of chicken and mashed potatoes as indicated.
