Instructions

Cook Chicken: Cook the chicken according to package directions. (Air frying is a great option for crispy chicken.)
Prepare Mashed Potatoes: While the chicken is cooking, prepare the mashed potatoes and keep them warm.
Heat Gravy and Corn: 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.
Assemble Bowls: 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.
Melt Cheese: Microwave each bowl for an additional 30-60 seconds, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
