Mashed Potato Casserole with Crispy Chicken

This mouth-watering mashed potato casserole is topped with Corn, Cheddar Cheese, Tyson Chicken Strips, and a drizzle of brown gravy! It’s easy to make ahead of time and bake later for a quick family dinner!

Sunday meal prep day is by far my favorite day of the week, and I’m growing my collection of casseroles that are easy to throw together and can assembled a few days ahead of time.

I always have Tyson Chicken Strips on hand because my kids LOVE them. But they are so versatile, salads, wraps and mashed potato casserole.

For the casserole: Mashed Potatoes, Frozen Corn, Cheddar Cheese- Preferably grated yourself from a block at home, Frozen Crispy Chicken, Brown Gravy Mix

For the Homemade Mashed Potatoes: Russet Potatoes, Butter, Half and Half or Milk, Salt/Pepper

Don't over-mash!

Easy Parmesan-Crusted Chicken

Making a low-carb breading for Parmesan-crusted chicken can be done in the time it takes to preheat the oven! Really! It doesn’t get much easier than throwing a few ingredients in a bowl and stirring them together. There’s just enough mayo (you’ll hardly taste it!) to moisten a mixture of grated Parmesan, green onions and garlic powder. Since baking time depends upon the thickness of the chicken breasts, take a minute to pound them with a mallet before placing them on a baking sheet. That way they’ll cook more evenly.

ingredients:

• 4 (4-ounces each) boneless, skinless chicken breasts

How to cook Easy Parmesan-Crusted Chicken

1. Place chicken between two sheets of plastic film. Starting from the thickest part, pound the chicken with a meat mallet to flatten. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
2. Arrange in a single layer on a lightly greased baking sheet or oven-safe baking dish.
3. In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, cheese, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder.
4. Spoon the mixture over chicken fillets, spreading to cover the surface completely.
5. Bake in a 400 F oven on middle rack for about 20 minutes or until thermometer inserted reads 165 F. If topping is browning too much before chicken is cooked through, loosely tent with foil.
6. Remove from heat and allow to rest for about 3 to 5 minutes before slicing. Serve hot.
