Ingredients
Mashed Potatoes
- 4 cups prepared mashed potatoes, warmed
Toppings
- 1 cup corn kernels, warmed
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 bag (32 oz) cooked chicken tenders
Sauce & Garnish
- 1 cup brown gravy, warmed
- Green onion or parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Warm Ingredients: Begin by warming the mashed potatoes, corn, cooked chicken tenders, and brown gravy. You can use a microwave or stovetop, placing them in separate containers to heat thoroughly but carefully to avoid drying out.
- Preheat Oven Broiler: Set your oven to the broil setting. This high heat will quickly melt the cheese on top of your bowls, providing a delicious crust without overcooking the other components.
- Assemble Bowls: Divide the warmed mashed potatoes evenly into 4 oven-safe bowls or crocks. Layer the warmed corn and then sprinkle both shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese over the potatoes. Arrange the cooked chicken tenders on top of the cheese layer.
- Broil Bowls: Place the filled bowls on a rimmed baking sheet and put them under the broiler for 2-3 minutes. Watch carefully until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden for the best texture and flavor.
- Add Gravy and Garnish: Remove the bowls from the oven and immediately drizzle the warm brown gravy over the top. Finish by garnishing with chopped green onion or parsley for a fresh, colorful touch. Serve the bowls hot to enjoy all flavors and textures at their peak.
Notes
- Ensure all ingredients are warmed before assembly for even heating and best taste.
- Use oven-safe bowls that can withstand broiler heat to avoid cracking or damage.
- If you prefer, substitute cooked rotisserie chicken for tenders to suit your taste.
- For a spicier touch, add a pinch of paprika or cayenne to the cheese layer before broiling.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated, but the crispy cheese texture will be best fresh.
