Tips and Frequently Asked Questions

  • Always cook chicken until it reaches at least 165 degrees with an internal meat thermometer.
  • I used shredded Colby Jack cheese, but shredded cheddar, or even pepper jack cheese would be good on the chicken.
  • If you don’t have a griddle, you can make the smothered chicken in a skillet on the stove.
  • I used the Texas Roadhouse Gold Sauce, but any brand of steak sauce should work as a marinade.
