Instructions:

Prepare Gravy: Begin by preparing the gravy mix according to the package directions in a skillet. Alternatively, you can opt to make your own gravy from scratch for an added touch of homemade goodness.
-
-
Add Chicken and Vegetables: Once the gravy is ready, add the chicken breasts and frozen vegetables to the skillet. Bring the mixture to a boil.
-
Simmer: Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and allow the chicken and vegetables to simmer in the flavorful gravy for approximately 10 minutes. This will ensure that the chicken cooks through and absorbs all the delicious flavors of the dish.
-
Preheat Oven: While the chicken and vegetables are simmering, preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius) and prepare a 4-quart baking dish for the next step.
-
Transfer to Baking Dish: Once the chicken is cooked and the vegetables are tender, carefully pour the hot stew into the prepared baking dish, ensuring an even distribution of ingredients.
-
Top with Mashed Potatoes: Now, it’s time to add the finishing touch! Spoon or pipe the mashed potatoes onto the hot stew using a pastry bag fitted with a large tip. This will create a beautiful and delicious potato topping for your bake.
-
Bake: Place the assembled dish into the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the potato topping is lightly browned and the edges of the bake are bubbling with irresistible goodness.
-
Serve: Once baked to perfection, remove the Chicken and Mashed Potato Bake from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs or a sprinkle of cheese, if desired, and enjoy this hearty and comforting meal with your loved ones!
