– 2 large boneless chicken breasts

– 8 oz steak (ribeye or sirloin)

– 4 cloves garlic, minced

– 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

– 1 tablespoon dried oregano

– 1 tablespoon dried thyme

– 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

– Salt and pepper, to taste

– 3 tablespoons olive oil

– 1 cup heavy cream

– 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

For the Cheesy Loaded Mashed Potatoes:

– 4 large russet potatoes, peeled and cubed

– 1/2 cup sour cream

– 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

– 4 tablespoons butter

– 1/4 cup milk

– 4 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled

– 2 green onions, chopped

– Salt and pepper, to taste

1. Prepare the Mashed Potatoes: In a large pot, boil the cubed potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and mash with sour cream, butter, milk, and cheddar cheese until creamy. Stir in crumbled bacon and green onions. Set aside.

2. Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

3. Season the Meat: Rub the chicken breasts and steak with olive oil, garlic, Parmesan cheese, oregano, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper.

4. Sear the Meat: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Repeat with the steak.

5. Bake: Transfer the seared chicken and steak to a baking dish. Pour heavy cream over the top and sprinkle with shredded mozzarella. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is bubbly.

6. Serve: Plate the cheesy loaded mashed potatoes alongside the baked chicken and steak. Garnish with extra green onions if desired.
