Instructions
Creating Chicken Mashed Potato Bowls can be easy if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
2. Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked through and golden brown. Remove from heat and let rest.
3. Shred the Chicken: Once cooled, shred the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces using two forks or your hands.
4. Heat the Gravy: In a small saucepan, heat the chicken broth until simmering, then add the gravy. Stir until well combined and heated through.
5. Prepare the Mashed Potatoes: If you haven’t done so already, prepare your mashed potatoes according to your favorite recipe or use store-bought mashed potatoes for convenience.
6. Assemble the Bowls: In serving bowls, start with a generous scoop of mashed potatoes as the base.
7. Add the Chicken: Place a portion of the shredded chicken on top of the mashed potatoes.
8. Add Corn: Spoon a layer of corn over the chicken.
9. Drizzle with Gravy: Pour the heated gravy over the top of the chicken and corn.
10. Top with Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top, allowing it to melt slightly from the heat of the dish.
11. Garnish: Optionally, garnish with chopped parsley for a touch of color and freshness.
These straightforward steps will guide you in creating mouthwatering Chicken Mashed Potato Bowls that everyone will love.
