- 10 ounces frozen corn 1 bag
- 2 cups cheddar cheese shredded

- chives or scallions chopped, optional
Instructions
- Heat the oven and bake the popcorn chicken according to the package directions, until hot and crisp all the way through (165°F).
- Bring a pot of water to a boil and make the instant mashed potatoes according to the pouch directions, or warm 4 cups of homemade mashed potatoes.
- While the chicken and potatoes cook, cook the frozen corn, heat the gravy and shred the cheese.
