Mashed Potato Casserole with Crispy Chicken

I have had the crud that is going around here for the past week or so. It started with a cold like thing and then went into this horrible cough and chest cold thing. Ick! So I have been super tired from the coughing all the time. I don’t want to cook and I need comfort food. Yes, need.

This is a great way to use up leftover mashed potatoes, vegetables (substitute green beans or peas for the corn) and gravy (turkey gravy on Thanksgiving or beef on Christmas are delicious!). This is like a simplified version of KFC’s Chicken Bowls. It is best made from homemade leftovers but packaged versions of mashed potatoes and gravy will work.

We were out of chicken strips the other night. I try to keep one bag on hand in the freezer for quick meal substitutes or snacks if needed but realized we had chicken patties. Remember make it work!

Ingredients

For Casserole:
Brown Gravy, you can also use a packet
8 Chicken Tenders, I prefer my homemade recipe but frozen may be used
1 cup cheddar cheese, freshly grated
1 cup corn
5-6 cups mashed potatoes, my homemade version is portioned for this recipe

Instructions

Number One, Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Number Two, If using frozen chicken tenders, let them sit at room temp for about 5 minutes if you prefer to slice them first, this allows them to soften.
Number Three, Spread the potatoes on the bottom of a 9 x 13 casserole dish.
Note: If your mashed potatoes are cold, warm them first.
Number Four, Top with corn and cheese.
Number Five, Carefully slice the chicken strips into pieces of desired size and top the casserole dish with them.
Number Six, Bake uncovered for 20 minutes if using frozen chicken tenders and 15 minutes for homemade.
Number Seven, Prepare the gravy on the stove top while the casserole finishes baking.
Number Eight, Drizzle desired amount of gravy over the casserole dish and serve!
