Preheat the oven and line a pan with foil.

Place 3 chicken tenders on the pan and add 1 biscuit to the same pan.

Bake in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes.

Open a small can of corn and heat it on the stovetop while the chicken is cooking.

In a pot, add 2/3 cup of water and bring it to a boil.

Once boiling, add 1/4 cup of milk and 2/3 cup of instant potato flakes to the pot.

Stir the potato flakes into the liquid until well combined.

Optionally, add black pepper and a dollop of mayo to the potatoes and stir.

Heat jar gravy in the microwave until warm.

Once the chicken and biscuit are done, assemble the bowl by starting with a layer of mashed potatoes.

Pour gravy over the mashed potatoes and spread it around.

Add the cooked chicken on top of the potatoes and gravy.

Scatter the heated corn over the chicken.

Sprinkle white cheddar cheese on top of the corn.

Serve with the biscuit on the side.
