Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the chicken breasts with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Make sure the chicken is evenly coated.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Once the oil is shimmering, add your seasoned chicken breasts and cook for 7-9 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken and let it rest.
  3. In a separate saucepan, gently heat your gravy over low heat, stirring until warmed through. Set aside once heated.
  4. Cook corn according to package instructions until tender, or drain and warm canned corn.
  5. Prepare or reheat your mashed potatoes until smooth and creamy, adjusting with milk or butter if necessary.
  6. To assemble, add a scoop of mashed potatoes to each bowl, layer the corn, and then add sliced or shredded chicken.
  7. Drizzle warm gravy over the layered chicken and corn, and sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese to melt slightly.
  8. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
