- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Directions:
- 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.
- Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Season the Meat: Rub the chicken breasts and steak with olive oil, garlic, Parmesan cheese, oregano, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- 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.
- 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.
- Serve: Plate the cheesy loaded mashed potatoes alongside the baked chicken and steak. Garnish with extra green onions if desired.
