Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound chicken breast, cooked and shredded
  • 4 cups mashed potatoes (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1 cup corn (frozen or canned)
  • 1 cup gravy (store-bought or homemade)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped green onions for garnish (optional)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Prepare the mashed potatoes. If making from scratch, peel and chop potatoes, then boil in salted water until tender (about 15-20 minutes). Drain and mash with butter, cream, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  2. Cook the chicken. Boil or roast the chicken breast until fully cooked. Shred the chicken with two forks and season lightly with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat the corn. Warm your corn over medium heat in a small saucepan. Optionally, add a pinch of salt.
  4. Prepare the gravy. Heat store-bought gravy or make homemade gravy from chicken drippings or a simple roux.
  5. Assemble your bowls. Start by adding a scoop of mashed potatoes to the bottom of each bowl, followed by shredded chicken, corn, and then pour gravy on top.
  6. Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.

Notes

To store leftovers, cool quickly, then transfer to an airtight container. They last about 3-4 days in the refrigerator. For longer storage, freeze components separately. Reheat by thawing overnight and warming in the oven or microwave.
