Instructions
- Prepare Mashed Potatoes: Make the mashed potatoes according to the package instructions or use leftover mashed potatoes if available. Ensure they are smooth and creamy for an even base in the casserole.
- Cook Chicken Tenders: Bake or cook the chicken tenders or nuggets as per the package directions until they are crispy and heated through.
