## A Quick Look at the Recipe
### You’ll Need:
* Chicken breasts & steak strips
* Garlic, Parmesan, olive oil, and seasoning
* Potatoes, sour cream, cheddar, bacon, and green onions
### How It Comes Together:
1. **Sear the steak and chicken** to lock in flavor.
2. **Make a cheesy, loaded mashed potato base** with sour cream, bacon, and cheddar.
3. **Assemble the bake** with the chicken and steak on top, smothered in garlic-Parmesan goodness.
4. **Bake until golden and bubbly**, and finish with a sprinkle of parsley.
I even garnished it with a little extra Parmesan before serving — because more cheese is always a good idea.
