Saute garlic and onions in olive oil until softened. Stir in chicken strips until color changes from pink to white. Add a splash of white wine, water and oyster sauce. Simmer until sauce is slightly reduced.

Season with salt and pepper. Stir in sliced green bell pepper. Take off from heat and set aside.

Mix mashed potato, butter and cream. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in chopped coriander leaves and chives.

In a shallow baking dish, spread cooked chicken and cover completely with herbed mashed potato. Sprinkle with a dash of nutmeg on top.

Bake for 20 minutes until slightly brown and sides are bursting with the lovely oyster-chicken sauce. Enjoy.
