Description

These Chicken Mashed Potato Bowls are a warm and comforting dish that brings together tender chicken, creamy mashed potatoes, and savory gravy. Perfect for chilly evenings, this meal is sure to satisfy your cravings for home-cooked goodness.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cups mashed potatoes (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 cup corn kernels (canned or frozen)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup prepared gravy (chicken or brown)
  • Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, mix the chicken pieces with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Ensure each piece is well-coated with the seasoning for maximum flavor.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the seasoned chicken pieces. Cook for about 7-9 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and no longer pink in the center. You’ll know it’s done when the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  3. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate. This allows the chicken to rest while you prepare the other components of the meal.
  4. In a medium saucepan, heat the prepared gravy according to package instructions or your homemade recipe. Keep it warm over low heat while you finish the other elements.
  5. If you are using frozen corn, cook it according to package instructions in a small saucepan. If using canned corn, drain and heat it in the same saucepan until warm. This step should take about 3-5 minutes.
  6. Prepare or reheat the mashed potatoes until they are smooth and hot, which should take about 5-7 minutes in the microwave or on the stovetop. Ensure they are creamy without lumps for the best texture.
  7. To assemble the bowls, start by adding a generous scoop of mashed potatoes to the bottom of each serving bowl. Aim for about 1 cup of mashed potatoes per bowl for a hearty serving.
  8. Top each portion of mashed potatoes with a scoop of cooked corn, followed by a portion of the seasoned chicken. This layering creates a colorful and inviting presentation.
  9. Drizzle warm gravy over the chicken and potatoes, ensuring everything is well-covered. Then, sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheese on top—about 1/4 cup per bowl for a cheesy finish.
  10. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired, adding a pop of color and freshness. Serve immediately to enjoy the dish at its best!

Keywords: To avoid dry chicken, ensure that you don’t overcook it. A non-stick skillet can make browning the chicken easier. For extra flavor, consider adding a splash of chicken broth to the gravy while it heats.
