Mashed Potatoes
Wash, peel, and cut your potatoes quarters

Turn off your burner, strain the water from your potatoes and place them back into your pot
Add milk, butter, salt, and pepper to a sauce pan and warm up until butter is melted and mixture is hot
Mash with a hand held masher until all potatoes are mashed. Add in mixture while warm and mix.
Stir in sour cream
Season to taste with salt and pepper
Gravy
In a small sauce pan on medium heat, add in chicken stock with mushrooms and garlic. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes. Add optional herbs while cooking.
Strain out solids
In small or medium sauce pan, melt unsalted butter over low-medium heat. Whisk in all purpose flour to form a rue.
Pour the stock into rue while whisking, keep whisking until it has thickened
Season with salt and pepper to taste
Chicken
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine all ingredients from the chicken marinade except cubed chicken and whisk together.
Add cubed chicken and cover in fridge for up to 24 hours (minimum 1)
Once the chicken has marinated combine all the dredge ingredients into a large bowl, whisk together.
To dredge the chicken, pull it from the marinade and toss in the flour. Place on a baking sheet that is dusted with some of the seasoned flour.
To fry, fill a heavy bottom pot like a dutch oven or braiser with frying oil (~3 inches deep) and heat to 350F. Add chicken and cook for 3-5 minutes.
Place on a baking sheet with a wire cooling rack to drain
Corn
Open can, drain, and warm up in the microwave (1 min)
Put it all together!
In your favourite bowl, first layer your mashed potatoes, followed by 2-3 spoonfuls of corn, 10-12 pieces of chicken, then your desired amount of gravy. Enjoy!
