Ingredients
Chicken
- 1 (20 to 30 oz) package frozen breaded popcorn chicken
Mashed Potatoes
- 2 (24 oz) packages Bob Evans Original Mashed Potatoes
Vegetables
- 1 (14.5 oz) can whole kernel corn
Cheese & Gravy
- 1 cup shredded Colby-Jack cheese
- 1 cup beef gravy
Instructions
- Cook Popcorn Chicken: Prepare the frozen breaded popcorn chicken according to the package directions, ideally using the oven or an air fryer for a crispy texture. This will take approximately 15 minutes.
- Heat Corn and Mashed Potatoes: While the chicken cooks, warm the canned whole kernel corn in a small pot over medium heat until hot. Heat the Bob Evans Original Mashed Potatoes as per package instructions, either in the microwave or stovetop.
- Warm Gravy: Heat the beef gravy following the package instructions to ensure it’s hot and ready to drizzle.
- Assemble Bowls: Divide the warmed mashed potatoes evenly into 4 bowls. Top each bowl with ¼ cup shredded Colby-Jack cheese, approximately ⅓ cup of the drained corn kernels, a few strips of the crispy popcorn chicken, and drizzle with the hot beef gravy.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve the bowls immediately while warm and enjoy this comforting homestyle meal.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, air frying the popcorn chicken is preferred over baking.
- You can substitute beef gravy with mushroom or chicken gravy for a different flavor.
- To make it a more balanced meal, consider adding a side salad or steamed vegetables.
- Leftover bowls can be refrigerated for up to 2 days and reheated in the microwave.
