Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds russet or Yukon gold potatoes peeled and diced
  • 1 garlic clove peeled
  • 3 tablespoons cream cheese
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 ½ cups chicken broth
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Pinch of Cajun seasoning to taste
  • Pinch of dried sage
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 package frozen gluten-free chicken nuggets cooked as per the package directions
  • Chopped green onions for topping, optional

Instructions
 

  • Place your potatoes and garlic clove in a large pot and cover with water. Salt the water to taste.
  • Bring to a boil and cook for 10-12 minutes, until the potatoes are tender.
  • Drain and add back to the pot. Add the cream cheese and butter and mash the potatoes until creamy and smooth. Set aside.
  • Meanwhile, add the chicken broth, onion powder, garlic powder, Cajun seasoning, sage, salt, and pepper in a saucepan. Bring to a boil.
  • In a small bowl, add the cornstarch. Using a ladle, carefully add 1-2 tablespoons of the hot broth to the cornstarch. Mix with a fork until no lumps remain in the slurry.
  • While boiling, add the slurry to the flavored broth, stirring constantly. Continue boiling until the gravy thickens, about 4 minutes.
  • Heat the corn gently in the microwave or on the stovetop until warm.
  • To serve, add a spoonful of mashed potatoes into a bowl. Top with gravy, corn, cheddar cheese, and the cooked chicken nuggets.
  • Serve hot with optional green onions on top.
