Buttery Baked Chicken Recipe
Description
This recipe starts with dipping chicken breasts into evaporated milk to moisten, then coating them evenly in a flour mixture seasoned with salt and pepper. The chicken pieces are placed in melted butter within a baking dish, baking at 350°F for one hour. This slow bake in butter helps the chicken brown gently with a crisp edge without drying out.
After the initial baking, the chicken is turned and topped with a mixture of cream of chicken soup, evaporated milk, and water. Baking continues for another 30 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and coat the chicken in a creamy, buttery finish.
The dish is served directly from the baking pan, offering a rich comfort food experience with moist chicken breasts and a mild, creamy sauce from the soup base. It pairs well with simple sides such as steamed vegetables or mashed potatoes.
Ingredients
- 4 chicken breast boneless skinless
- 1 can evaporated milk 12 oz
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 cup butter melted
- 1 can cream of chicken soup
- 1/4 cup water
Instructions
- 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.
- Melt butter in 9x13 pan and cook the chicken in the melted butter for 1 hour at 350°F.
- Mix together water, can of soup, and the rest of your evaporated milk.
- After chicken has been baking for 1 hour, turn chicken and pour soup mixture on top. Bake for 30 more minutes until golden brown. Serve as is. Creamy and Delish!!
Notes
- Do not substitute sweetened condensed milk; use evaporated milk as specified for correct texture and flavor.
- Baking times may vary depending on chicken size; ensure chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.
- You can spoon the sauce over the chicken when serving for added moisture and flavor.
