Mashed Potato Casserole with Crispy Chicken

This mouth-watering squashed potato goulash is stacked with velvety pureed potatoes and finished off with Crispy Chicken Tenders, corn, cheddar, and a sprinkle of earthy colored sauce! It's anything but difficult to make early and heat later for a fast family supper!

 

Everything from the kind of potato you use, how you heat up the potatoes, and even to how you pound them up is significant.

 

 

Ingredients

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

 

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit
2. 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.
3. Spread the potatoes on the bottom of a 9 x 13 casserole dish.
4. Note: If your mashed potatoes are cold, warm them first.
5. Top with corn and cheese.
6. Carefully slice the chicken strips into pieces of desired size and top the casserole dish with them.
7. Bake uncovered for 20 minutes if using frozen chicken tenders and 15 minutes for homemade.
8. Prepare the gravy on the stove top while the casserole finishes baking.
9. Drizzle desired amount of gravy over the casserole dish and serve!
