Cheesy Popcorn Chicken Bowl Recipe:
Ingredients:
- 1 bag of your favorite popcorn chicken (follow cooking instructions on the bag)
- 2 family-sized containers of mashed potatoes (e.g., Bob Evans)
- 1 can of corn (adjust according to preference)
- Shredded cheese (your favorite blend)
- Gravy (homemade or store-bought)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Prepare Popcorn Chicken:
- Cook the popcorn chicken according to the instructions on the bag. Ensure they are crispy and golden brown. Set aside.
- Layer 1 – Mashed Potatoes:
- Spread a generous layer of mashed potatoes as the base in a baking dish. You can use pre-made mashed potatoes for convenience, like Bob Evans.
- Layer 2 – Corn:
- Evenly distribute the can of corn over the mashed potatoes. If you love corn, feel free to add another half can for extra sweetness.
- Layer 3 – Popcorn Chicken and Cheese:
- Arrange the cooked popcorn chicken on top of the corn layer. Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheese over the popcorn chicken.
- Bake:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Place the assembled bowl in the oven and bake for approximately 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the popcorn chicken is heated through.
- Finishing Touch – Gravy:
- Remove the bowl from the oven. Drizzle the delicious gravy over the cheesy popcorn chicken bowl. Pour as much or as little as you like, ensuring that it adds flavor without making the dish too soggy.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Allow the bowl to cool for a few minutes before serving. The layers of mashed potatoes, corn, crispy popcorn chicken, melted cheese, and savory gravy create a delightful combination of flavors and textures.
- Customize:
- Feel free to customize the recipe with your favorite toppings, such as green onions, crispy bacon bits, or a dollop of sour cream.
