### Ingredients
– **For the Chicken:**
– 2 large chicken breasts
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 2 tablespoons olive oil

– **For the Mashed Potatoes:**

– **For the Bowl:**
– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
– 1 cup corn (canned or frozen)

### Instructions

#### Preparing the Chicken
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels.
3. In a small bowl, mix garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
4. Rub the seasoning mixture all over the chicken breasts.
5. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
6. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
7. Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

#### Preparing the Mashed Potatoes
1. Peel and cut the russet potatoes into evenly sized chunks.
2. Place the potato chunks in a large pot, cover with cold water, and add a pinch of salt.
3. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium and simmer for 15-20 minutes until fork-tender.
4. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot.
5. Add butter and milk, then mash until desired consistency is reached. Season with salt and pepper, and mix in sour cream if desired.

#### Cooking the Corn
1. If using frozen corn, cook according to package instructions. If using canned corn, drain and rinse.
2. Heat the corn in a small saucepan over medium heat until warmed through, adding salt and pepper for flavor.

#### Assembling the Chicken Mashed Potato Bowls
1. Spoon a generous portion of mashed potatoes into each bowl.
2. Slice the rested chicken breasts and place them on top of the mashed potatoes.
3. Add a scoop of warmed corn beside the chicken.
4. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the chicken and potatoes. Optionally, microwave for a few seconds to melt the cheese.
5. Top with a dollop of sour cream and garnish with chopped green onions.

### Notes
– Feel free to customize your bowls with additional toppings like crispy bacon bits or sautéed mushrooms.
– Adjust the amount of milk in the mashed potatoes based on your preferred creaminess.
