Instructions
- Prepare the Mashed Potatoes: If not already done, prepare the mashed potatoes and keep them warm until ready to assemble the bowls.

- Warm the Corn: Heat the corn kernels in a small saucepan over low heat or microwave until hot.
- Heat the Gravy: Warm the chicken gravy until hot, either on the stovetop or in the microwave.
- Assemble the Bowls: Divide the warm mashed potatoes evenly between serving bowls, spreading them out to form a base layer.

- Top with Gravy and Cheese: Pour the hot chicken gravy over the entire bowl, then sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish each bowl with chopped green onions if desired and serve immediately while hot.
Notes
- Rotisserie chicken works well for this recipe and saves cooking time.
- You can substitute turkey for chicken if preferred.
- For extra flavor, mix a little butter and shredded cheese directly into the mashed potatoes before assembling the bowls.
