Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a 10-inch baking dish.
  2. Boil the chopped red potatoes until fork-tender, about 10–15 minutes; drain and return them to the pot.
  3. Steam or roast the broccoli until bright green and slightly tender.
  4. Cook bacon in a skillet until crispy, then crumble it.
  5. Mash the potatoes with butter, sour cream, kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika until creamy.
  6. Stir in the broccoli, cooked chicken, bacon, and half the shredded cheese.
Baking
  1. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, smooth the top, and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
  2. Bake for 20–25 minutes until the center is hot and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  3. Let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
