Mashed Potato Casserole with Crispy Chicken



Ingredients
For Homemade Mashed Potatoes:
  • 5 medium Russet Potatoes of equal size
  • 1 stick butter softened
  • 1 cup half and half warmed
  • Salt/pepper

For Casserole:
  • 5 cups mashed potatoes
  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese freshly grated
  • 6 Tyson Chicken Strips
  • .87 oz. packet Brown Gravy Mix


Instructions
  1. Homemade Mashed Potatoes
  2. Rinse the potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. Leave the skins on.
  3. Add the potatoes to a large pot of COLD and salted water, enough water to submerge them by 1 inch. Use 1 heaping teaspoon for each quart of water.
  4. Bring the potatoes to a gentle boil and maintain this boil until they are fork tender.
  5. Drain the potatoes. Hold them with a pot holder and peel off the skins. Return them to the pot.
  6. Add the completely softened butter and mash them to desired consistency.
  7. Warm the half and half in the microwave for 30 seconds and stir it into the mashed potatoes.
  8. Season with additional salt/pepper if desired.
  9. Preparing the Casserole
  10. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  11. Take out your chicken strips and let them sit at room temp for about 5 minutes if you prefer to slice them first.
  12. Spread the potatoes on the bottom of a casserole dish. (Mine was 13.25 x 9 but variations are fine.)
  13. Note: If your mashed potatoes are cold, warm them first. 
  14. Top with corn and cheese.
  15. Carefully slice the chicken strips into pieces of desired size and top the casserole dish with them.
  16. Bake for 20 minutes, until the chicken is crisp.
  17. Prepare the gravy on the stove top according to package instructions while the casserole finishes baking.
  18. Drizzle your desired amount of gravy over the casserole dish and serve!

Set aside. Place white chocolate chips in a glass or ceramic bowl and microwave for 1 minute. Add 1/3 cup peanut butter to the bowl and microwave for an additional 30 seconds. Stir until smooth. Drop 1 mini pretzel at a time into peanut butter mixture. Turn to coat. You can dip using a fork, but I prefer using a Wilton Dipping Tool. Makes it even easier! Tap fork on the side of the bowl to help excess drip off. Transfer coated pretzel to parchment lined pan. Repeat process with remaining pretzels. Let cool on pan until set. Place semi-sweet chocolate chips in a sandwich sized bag. Microwave for 1 minute. Cut a corner of the bag and drizzle melted chocolate on pretzels. Let cool to set.(...
