Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large bowl, combine the boneless, skinless chicken breasts with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss the chicken until it's evenly coated with the seasonings.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for about 7-9 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  3. While the chicken is cooking, place prepared gravy in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir gently and allow it to warm through.
  4. In the final stages of chicken cooking, heat your corn kernels according to package instructions.
  5. If using store-bought mashed potatoes, heat them in a microwave until steaming hot. If making homemade mashed potatoes, whip them up to creamy perfection.
  6. To create your bowls, scoop a generous portion of warm mashed potatoes into each bowl.
  7. Layer the cooked corn evenly over the mashed potatoes.
  8. Distribute the cooked chicken pieces over the corn layer.
  9. Generously drizzle the warm gravy over the assembled bowls.
  10. Optionally, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top and serve immediately while hot.
