Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Chicken

    If using grilled chicken, cook it on a grill or stovetop until fully cooked and golden brown. If using popcorn chicken, prepare it according to package instructions until crispy.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Mashed Potatoes

    Boil peeled potatoes until fork-tender, then mash them with butter, milk, and salt to taste until creamy and smooth.

  3. 3

    Heat the Corn

    If using frozen corn, heat it in a saucepan over medium heat until warmed through. If using canned corn, drain and rinse, then heat in a saucepan.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Gravy

    Heat the brown gravy in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally until heated through.

  5. 5

    Shred the Cheese

    If not using pre-shredded mozzarella, shred the cheese using a cheese grater.

Assembly

  1. 6

    Layer the Ingredients

    In a large bowl, start with a base of mashed potatoes, followed by a layer of corn, then the grilled or popcorn chicken on top.

  2. 7

    Add Gravy

    Pour the warm brown gravy generously over the chicken layer.

  3. 8

    Top with Cheese

    Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the gravy.
