Creating Chicken Mashed Potato Bowls is easier than you might think. Follow these simple steps to make a delicious meal:

1. Boil Potatoes: Start a large pot of salted water to boil. Add the peeled and quartered potatoes and cook until tender, about 15–20 minutes.
2. Cook Chicken: While the potatoes are boiling, heat the shredded or diced chicken in a skillet over medium heat to warm through. You can add a splash of chicken broth for flavor.
3. Prepare Gravy: In a separate saucepan, mix the chicken broth with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. To thicken, whisk in cornstarch mixed with a little cold water. Allow it to boil for a few minutes until it reaches desired thickness.
4. Mash Potatoes: Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add milk, butter, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mash until fluffy and creamy.
5. Mix Vegetables: If using frozen mixed vegetables, add them to the skillet with the chicken and heat until warmed through, about 5 minutes.
6. Assemble Bowls: In serving bowls, layer the mashed potatoes first, top with the chicken and vegetables, and drizzle with gravy.
7. Garnish: Sprinkle chopped parsley over the top for a burst of color and flavor.
8. Serve Hot: Enjoy your creation while it’s warm!
