Ingredients
Mashed Potatoes and Toppings
- 4 cups (840 g) prepared mashed potatoes, warmed, divided
- 1 can (15.25 ounces) corn kernels, drained, warmed, divided
- ½ cup (56.5 g) mild cheddar cheese, shredded, divided
- ½ cup (56.5 g) mozzarella cheese, shredded, divided
Chicken and Gravy
- 1 bag (32 ounces) chicken nuggets, cooked according to package instructions
- 1 cup (233 g) brown gravy, warmed
Garnish
- Parsley, chopped for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Warm the mashed potatoes and corn kernels separately. Cook the chicken nuggets according to the package instructions until crispy.
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to broil and arrange four large oven-safe bowls or crocks on a rimmed baking sheet for easy handling.
- Assemble Bowls: In each bowl, place 1 cup of mashed potatoes, then layer with ½ cup corn kernels. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons mild cheddar cheese and 2 tablespoons mozzarella cheese evenly on top, then add the cooked chicken nuggets.
- Broil Bowls: Transfer the baking sheet with the assembled bowls under the broiler. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the chicken nuggets turn extra crispy. Watch closely to avoid burning.
- Add Gravy and Garnish: Carefully remove the bowls from the oven. Drizzle ¼ cup warm brown gravy over each bowl’s crispy chicken and cheesy topping. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately.
Notes
- Use freshly prepared mashed potatoes or high-quality store-bought for convenience.
- Adjust the amount of cheese to your preference for more or less cheesiness.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of black pepper or garlic powder to mashed potatoes.
- Vegetarian version can be made by substituting chicken nuggets with a plant-based alternative.
- Broil carefully as oven temperatures can vary and cheese can burn quickly.
