Chicken Mashed Potato Bowls
Description
The Chicken Mashed Potato Bowls recipe relies on simple components: mashed potatoes form the base, providing a creamy and soft texture. Chicken nuggets, cooked to a crispy finish (air frying preferred), offer protein and crunch contrasted against the smooth potatoes. Steamed or cooked corn adds sweetness and a slight pop to every bite. The inclusion of shredded Colby-Jack cheese introduces mild, melty richness.
Gravy drizzled on top ties the bowl’s ingredients together with savory moisture. Seasoning with salt and pepper adjusts the flavors to taste. Optional parsley garnish adds a fresh, visual contrast. Overall, this bowl balances comfort and convenience by layering familiar components in a bowl format.
This bowl can utilize freshly made or leftover mashed potatoes, making it practical for minimizing waste. The recipe is designed for two servings, making portion control straightforward. Cooking chicken nuggets according to their packaging simplifies preparation, and gravy packets can be used to save time.
Ingredients
- 2 cups potato mashed, warm
- 6 ounces chicken nuggets we like to use the Just Bare brand of nuggets, cooked, about 12 to 16 nuggets
- 1/2 cup gravy we like chicken or turkey gravy, prepared, of your choice
- 1/2 cup corn cooked
- 1/4 cup Colby-Jack cheese shredded
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- parsley optional, for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by making the mashed potatoes. Any mashed potatoes will do! Try my Garlic Parmesan Mashed Potatoes or Crock Pot Creamy Mashed Potatoes. If you have left over mashed potatoes from the previous night’s dinner this is a great way to use them!
- Cook the chicken nuggets according to their package directions. We like to air-fry ours so they're crispy!
- As the chicken is cooking, prepare the gravy in a small saucepan on the stove top. A gravy packet works easily for this recipe. In a separate pan cook the corn.
- To create the bowls, place 1 cup of potatoes at the bottom of each bowl. Then divide the chicken, corn and cheese evenly among the two bowls. Drizzle tops with gravy. Season with salt and pepper, then sprinkle on a little parsley for color. Enjoy!
