Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 2 chicken breasts, cubed
- 2 ribeye steaks, cubed
Seasoning and Marinade:
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)
Mashed Potatoes:
- 4 large russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup milk (more if needed for consistency)
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup cooked bacon bits
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Protein: In a large bowl, toss the cubed chicken breasts and ribeye steaks with olive oil, minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper until thoroughly coated. This seasoning mix will infuse the meat with robust flavors during baking.
- Bake the Meat: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the seasoned chicken and steak pieces evenly on a baking sheet or casserole dish. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until meats are cooked through and have a lovely golden color.
- Cook the Potatoes: While the meat is baking, place peeled and cubed potatoes in a large pot. Cover with water, add a pinch of salt, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook until potatoes are fork-tender, about 15 minutes.
- Mash the Potatoes: Drain potatoes well and return them to the pot. Add butter, sour cream, and milk, then mash until smooth and creamy. Adjust milk if necessary to reach desired consistency. Stir in shredded cheddar cheese, cooked bacon bits, green onions, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine all flavors.
- Assemble and Serve: Plate the baked garlic Parmesan chicken and steak alongside a generous portion of cheesy loaded mashed potatoes. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley if desired. Serve immediately for a warm, comforting meal perfect for six servings.
Notes
- For extra flavor, marinate the meat for 30 minutes before baking.
- You can substitute ribeye steaks with sirloin or flank steak if preferred.
- Adjust the amount of garlic and Parmesan cheese based on taste preference.
- If dairy-free, omit butter, sour cream, and cheese or use plant-based alternatives.
- Leftovers can be stored in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
