Equipment
- Skillet
- Oven
- Air Fryer
Ingredients
- 30 oz frozen breaded popcorn chicken
- 224 oz Bob Evans Original Mashed Potatoes
- 114.5 oz whole kernel corn
- 1 cup shredded colby-jack cheese
- 1 cup beef gravy
Instructions
- 1. Begin by cooking the frozen popcorn chicken according to package instructions. For an extra crispy texture, I recommend using the oven or air fryer. As they cook, you’ll enjoy the enticing smell filling the kitchen, making your mouth water in anticipation.
- 2. While the chicken is cooking, take a small pot and add the whole kernel corn. Warm it over medium heat, stirring occasionally until it’s heated through. This step takes just a few minutes, and the vibrant yellow corn will brighten your dish.
- 3. Next, prepare the Bob Evans Original Mashed Potatoes according to the package instructions. As they heat up, you’ll appreciate their creamy texture and comforting flavor, which pairs perfectly with the other components of the dish.
- 4. Once the chicken is crispy, the corn is warm, and the mashed potatoes are ready, it’s time to assemble the bowls. Divvy up the mashed potatoes into serving bowls, ensuring each one has a generous amount.
- 5. Now, it’s time to add the toppings! Start by adding a quarter cup of the shredded colby-jack cheese on top of each bowl. As it melts slightly from the warmth of the potatoes, it creates a deliciously creamy layer.
- 6. Next, spoon in about a third cup of the warmed corn kernels onto each bowl, allowing their sweetness to complement the savory elements.
- 7. Finally, add the star of the show: a few crispy pieces of the cooked popcorn chicken. Make sure to arrange them nicely to make the dish visually appealing.
- 8. Drizzle the hot beef gravy over the top, allowing it to cascade down the sides of the bowl, creating a rich and flavorful finish.
- 9. Take a moment to admire your creation before diving in. Each bite will be a delightful combination of textures and flavors, making it a favorite among family and friends.
Notes
When storing leftovers, keep them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. If you want to freeze this dish, separate the components into individual containers before freezing. It’s best to reheat the chicken and gravy separately for optimal texture. Serve with a refreshing side salad for a balanced meal, and feel free to substitute the popcorn chicken with grilled chicken for a lighter option. Consider adding fresh herbs like parsley or chives to brighten the presentation.
