Help with chicken dish

[renea1]

I was going to try out a new recipe for a copycas of TGIF's Sizzling Chicken and Cheese........
and I came across this sentence and have no idea what they are telling me to do.....it does not make any sense..........does anyone know what this means......




"Heat cast iron skillet on burner over medium heat until very hot. Place mashed potatoes on top portion of skillet. Place cheeses on bottom portion of skillet and cover with pepper and onion medley. Add chicken to top of pepper and onion medley, resting on potatoes. Top with chopped parsley. Serve “sizzling."


how do you place something on top portion of skillet???? and if you put cheese on the bottom of a cast iron skilllet wouldn't it stick???

Help!!!!!!!!!!!

I didn't understand it either, until I Googled and found the entire recipe.

The "skillet" they are talking about is a special one that they use for presentation at the table. It's like what some restaurants serve fajitas or steak on. See the red sentence, below.

They heat up the pan, then put it in the wooden holder, THEN they present the potatoes, cheese, vegs, and chicken on top of that.

The cheese must get crispy, I imagine. Sounds great and maybe I'll try it, as I have some of those metal plates (I heat them in the oven) with wooden holders.

If y'all don't mind my two centavos, I think the instructions might be referring to the presentation of the meal as it is placed in front of you. The "top portion" of the skillet being the farthest and the "bottom portion" being the nearest. Actually, the more I read it, the more confused I become. Either way, it does sound good!
