Always allow air to circulate in the skillet around the chicken-do not overcrowd. If the pieces are too close together in the skillet, the chicken will steam and not brown.

Mashed Potato Loaf

If you want to make this loaf but do not have mashed potatoes on hand, use instant mashed potatoes. You will save money in addition to saving the time required to peel, boil, and mash the potatoes.
