Garlic Parmesan Chicken & Steak Bake with Cheesy Loaded Mashed Potatoes

Ingredients:

For the Chicken & Steak:

2 chicken breasts, cubed

2 ribeye steaks, cubed

2 tbsp olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 tsp Italian seasoning

½ tsp salt

¼ tsp black pepper

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

For the Cheesy Loaded Mashed Potatoes:

4 large russet potatoes, peeled and cubed

½ cup heavy cream

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

¼ cup sour cream

4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled

3 green onions, sliced (green parts only)

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

Place potatoes in a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and mash.

Add heavy cream, sour cream, salt, and pepper to the mashed potatoes, mixing until smooth and creamy. Fold in cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, bacon, and green onions.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread the loaded mashed potatoes into a greased baking dish. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until golden and bubbly.

While potatoes bake, season chicken and steak cubes with garlic, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken and steak cubes for 4-5 minutes on each side until cooked through and golden brown.

Serve chicken and steak bites over a generous portion of cheesy loaded mashed potatoes. Garnish with fresh parsley.
