- 2 bags of broccoli florets (steamable bags)
- 8 oz bags of Cheddar Cheese and Monterey Jack Cheese blend
- 3 sticks of butter
- Old Bay seasoning
- Parsley Flakes
- Minced Garlic
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare Potatoes: Wash and dice the red skin potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
- Season Potatoes: Melt one stick of butter and pour it over the diced potatoes. Season the potatoes with Old Bay seasoning and minced garlic to your taste. Toss the potatoes to ensure they are evenly coated with butter and seasonings.
- Bake Potatoes: Transfer the seasoned potatoes to a large baking dish or pan. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 20-25 minutes or until they begin to soften.
- Prepare Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with Old Bay seasoning and minced garlic. You can slice the chicken into strips or leave them whole, depending on your preference.
- Cook Chicken: In a large skillet, melt another stick of butter over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook until they are fully cooked and browned on the outside. Remove the cooked chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
- Cook Shrimp: In the same skillet, add the peeled and deveined shrimp. Cook the shrimp until they turn pink and are fully cooked. Remove the cooked shrimp and set them aside.
- Steam Broccoli: Steam the broccoli florets according to the instructions on the steamable bags.
- Layer Ingredients: Once the potatoes are partially cooked, remove them from the oven. Layer the cooked chicken, cooked shrimp, and steamed broccoli over the partially cooked potatoes in the baking dish.
- Add Cheese: Top everything with the Cheddar Cheese and Monterey Jack Cheese blend.
- Butter It Up: Cut the remaining two sticks of butter into small pieces and distribute them evenly over the top of the dish.
- Finishing Touch: Sprinkle parsley flakes on top for added flavor and presentation.
- Cover and Bake: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and return it to the oven.
