Ingredients
- 20 chicken nuggets or tenders divided
- 12 ounce bag frozen corn divided
- 8 ounce bag Idahoan Buttery Homestyle Mashed Potatoes prepared and divided
- 18 ounce jar Heinz chicken gravy divided
- 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded and divided
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 360 degrees Fahrenheit and place 10 nuggets in the basket in a single layer.
- Cook the nuggets for 7-10 minutes or until crispy and cooked through.
- Remove the nuggets and place them on a plate. Place 10 more nuggets in the basket and cook as above.
- While the nuggets are cooking, place the gravy in a small saucepan and heat it over medium low heat until bubbling, about 5-7 minutes. Be sure to stir it often.
- Once the gravy is bubbling reduce the heat to low and cover.
- Steam the corn in the microwave as instructed on the package and allow it to sit in the microwave when finished.
- Prepare the mashed potatoes in a large mixing bowl according to the package directions and then cover them and allow them to sit until you are ready to prepare the bowls.
- To assemble your bowls, place 1 cup of mashed potatoes in the bottoms of each large bowl, sprinkle with ½ cup of cooked corn, ⅓ cup hot gravy, ¼ cup shredded cheese and top with 5 crispy nuggets.
- Serve hot.
Notes
Storage:
- To Store: If you have leftovers that you want to keep for later you can cover them or place them in an airtight container and refrigerate them for up to 4 days.
- To Reheat: You can reheat the bowls in the microwave until the chicken reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit inside. The texture, especially of the nuggets, will change when reheated.
- I highly recommend preparing these bowls just before serving as they do not store well.
- Sprinkle on your favorite seasoning mixture for a bit of extra flavor. This can be especially helpful if you are using unseasoned mashed potatoes and chicken.
