Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Boil the Potatoes: Peel and cube potatoes, then boil in salted water for 15–20 minutes until fork-tender. Drain and set aside.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet, season chicken with spices, and cook for about 7–10 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Let rest and slice.
  3. Prepare the Gravy: In the same skillet, heat chicken gravy and scrape up brown bits for flavor. Warm for 2–3 minutes.
  4. Mash the Potatoes: Add butter and milk to the drained potatoes. Mash until smooth and creamy, adjusting seasoning.
  5. Warm the Corn: Heat corn in a saucepan for 3–5 minutes until warm.
  6. Assemble the Bowls: Layer mashed potatoes, sliced chicken, corn, and drizzle with gravy in each bowl.
  7. Add the Finishing Touch: Top with cheddar cheese and garnish with parsley if desired.
