Dip each chicken piece in a bowl filled with about ⅛ of your evaporated milk. Coat well and then roll it in the flour seasoned with salt and pepper.
Pour the melted butter in a 9×13 baking dish, and the chicken, and bake for 1 hour.
While the chicken is baking, mix together water, the can of soup, and the rest of the evaporated milk.
After chicken has been baking for 1 hour, turn the chicken over and pour the soup mixture on top. Bake for 30 more minutes until golden brown. Serve as is. Creamy and Delish!!

Recipe Tips.

Be sure that you use evaporated milk, not sweetened condensed milk. In a pinch, half and half can also be used.

Pound the chicken breasts to a consistent thickness throughout so they will bake and an even rate.

This recipe makes more sauce than you might need. Pour enough over the chicken so the sauce comes about halfway up the breasts. You can also use a larger dish and add more chicken breasts.

To make in a crock pot. Put the melted butter into the crockpot and add the prepared chicken pieces on top. Cook for 4-5 hours on high or 6-7 hours on low. Halfway through the cooking time, turn each piece over and pour in the soup mixture.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days, or freeze for about 3 months.
