Ingredients

1 & 1/2 pounds frozen popcorn chicken (or chicken nuggets)
4 cups prepared mashed potatoes
1 cup frozen corn kernels , thawed
1 cup prepared beef gravy
1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
salt and black pepper , to taste

Instructions

Cook the chicken according to package directions (I like to air fry mine, so they’re nice and crispy.)
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the mashed potatoes, then keep them warm.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the thawed corn kernels and beef gravy. Microwave on high for 1-2 minutes, or until heated through. Stir to combine.
To assemble the bowls, divide the warm mashed potatoes evenly among 4 serving bowls. Top each bowl of mashed potatoes with a generous portion of the popcorn chicken. Spoon the corn and gravy mixture over the popcorn chicken in each bowl. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top of each bowl.
Microwave each bowl for an additional 30-60 seconds, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
