Didn't bother with the skillet serving method but otherwise followed the recipe. The chicken was good and had nice flavor and stayed very moist. The cheese was kinda hard to find but I did in a Mexican market so I was able to at least have the authentic flavors. Does anyone know if there is a special recipe for the mashed potatoes at TGIFridays?

Instead of mashed potatoes I used oven roasted reds cut in wedges but assembled everything in the skillet the same way. super yummy!

I could not find chihuahua cheese anywhere so I used white velveeta. It doesn't say how much mashed potatoes to use and the directions about top and bottom of skillet confused me. The taste was good but I'm not sure I assembled it as directed.

OMG this recipe is amazing! I think I just found my new favorite way to make chicken. Does TGIF do their mashed potatoes some special way? I just made usual ones but thought if they do something special I'd like to try to duplicate that as well (since this recipe was so good!)

I made this and everyone loved it, I did change the recipe a little, added some vinegar to the oil marinade and it was delicious.

Very good. I did use monteray Jack Cheese instead of the chihuahua white. Same exact cheese. Also added a little onion powder and paprika to the mix. Came out excellent.
