   • Cut the boneless chicken into bite-sized pieces and add them to the marinade.

Step 3: Prepare the Fries

1. Ingredients:

   • French fries (store-bought or homemade)
   • 1 capsicum (bell pepper), diced

2. Instructions:

   • If using frozen fries, follow package instructions to cook them until crispy.
   • For homemade fries, cut potatoes into fry shapes, soak in water, dry, and fry in hot oil until golden.

3. Tip: Ensure the fries are crispy to hold up under the weight of the toppings.

   • Add the flour and whisk continuously for about 1 minute to create a roux.
   • Gradually add the milk, continuing to whisk until the mixture thickens.
   • Stir in the salt, red chili powder, and both types of cheese, allowing them to melt.
   • Add cream for extra richness, and mix until smooth.

Step 5: Assemble the Dish
