This is tasty comfort food that you can make at home!  

Easy and kid-friendly.

3 lbs. russet potatoes

1/2 cup butter

1 cup milk

1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp pepper

1 pkg popcorn chicken - 24 oz.

1 jar Heinz chicken gravy - 18 oz. divided

2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  • Clean and peel the potatoes. Then quarter them.

  • Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with water. Bring to a boil and simmer for about 10-15 minutes until the potatoes are fork-tender.

  • Bake the Popcorn chicken based on the package instructions while the potatoes are boiling.

  • Drain the potatoes and then return them back to the pot.

  • Serve immediately while hot and enjoy!

Notes

Only assemble the bowls that you are going to serve.  Store the leftovers individually in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
