Ingredients

For Casserole:

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

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

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

Notes

My homemade Popcorn Chicken is great in this recipe as well!
