Ingredients

2 lb boneless chicken breast (Cut into small cubes)
salt (To taste, for seasoning the chicken)
1 tsp black pepper (For the chicken)
1 tbsp garlic powder (For the chicken)
1 tbsp smoked paprika powder (For the chicken)
1 tsp red chili flakes (For the chicken)
2 tbsp oil (For cooking the chicken; use additional oil as needed to lightly grease the baking tray)
1 tsp fresh garlic (Freshly chopped)
1 cup mixed bell peppers (Diced)
1 yellow onion (Diced)
0.5 cup unsweetened heavy whipping cream
2 tbsp cream cheese
4 russet potatoes (4-5 large potatoes; peel and chop)
salt (To taste, for the potato cooking water and mashed potatoes)
water (For boiling the potatoes)
1 tsp garlic powder (For the mashed potatoes)
0.5 tsp black pepper (For the mashed potatoes)
1 tsp dried coriander (Chopped coriander, added to the mashed potatoes)
1 cup mozzarella cheese (Shredded; for assembly)

Steps

1
Place the cubed chicken in a bowl. Add salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and red chili flakes, then mix thoroughly so the chicken is evenly coated.
2
Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat.
3
Add the seasoned chicken to the pan and cook for 8–10 minutes, until fully cooked and lightly browned.
4
Add the freshly chopped garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes, until fragrant.
5
Stir in the diced onion and mixed bell peppers. Cook for 2–3 minutes, until slightly softened.
6
Add the heavy cream and cream cheese. Stir well and simmer for 2–3 minutes, until the mixture is creamy and combined.
7
Remove the creamy chicken mixture from the heat and set it aside.
8
Peel and chop the potatoes. Boil them in salted water for about 15–20 minutes, until fork-tender.
9
Drain the potatoes well.
10
Mash the potatoes thoroughly with a potato ricer or masher until smooth.
11
Add salt, garlic powder, black pepper, and dried coriander to the mashed potatoes. Mix well to combine.
12
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a baking tray with oil.
13
Scoop portions of mashed potato and form them into balls. Arrange the balls on the prepared baking tray.
14
Gently press the center of each potato ball to create a well.
15
Fill each potato well with the creamy chicken mixture.
16
Top the filled potato wells generously with shredded mozzarella cheese.
17
Bake for 15–20 minutes, until the mozzarella is melted and slightly golden on top.
