I made this again for the first time in about 5 years. I've up'ed it to a 5 and wanted to re-review but I see no way to just delete an old review, so I'll just add to it. The original: I liked this as is. I didn't have Mexican cheese and used a combo of Jack, mozarella & Colby. Otherwise it was made as is, including temperature, cooking times, etc. And I thought the chicken was fine and unlike others, the potatoes seemed to tend to overcook. Perhaps I cubed mine smaller? I made it a second time, got lazy & didn't use the foil and it didn't turn out as well. I think potatoes do work well in foil. I liked that I could do everything in the oven and not cook anything ahead of time. New additional comments: This time I had a Mexican combo and that may have made a difference. I taste-tested and rather wondered why I'd even given it a 4, but it was much better as a whole put-together dish, eating chicken & potatoes together. I think the butter is necessary, both in terms of allowing the potatoes to get cooked (and I stirred them) and to make them tender. My oven temp is right on and I think these times work but big chunks vs cubed will take longer. It also doesn't specify a size for the potatoes, and mine were probably about 5 oz, give or take.
