Recipe Notes

  • You could use boneless chicken breasts or thighs, but would need to reduce the cooking time.
  • If you don't have evaporated milk, use half and half. 

Here's how to make it:

  • Pour the melted butter into a 13x9-inch baking pan. Put the flour into a shallow bowl. Put about 1/3 cup of the evaporated milk into another bowl.
  • Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Dip the chicken into the milk and then into the flour. Place it on top of the melted butter. Bake in a preheated 350-degree F oven for about 30 minutes.
  • Combine the remaining evaporated milk in the can (I also added what was left from dipping the chicken), the cream of chicken soup and water.
  • Flip the chicken over.
  • Pour the evaporated milk mixture over the chicken. Bake another 25 to 30 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and browning on top. Sprinkle the top with parsley flakes, if desired.

This was really good. With the leftovers, I picked the meat off the bones and mixed with the leftover gravy and served it over rice. Delish.

Sorry. Canned soup in a recipe stops me cold.
Donna John
I understand, but so many great recipes have canned cream of chicken or cream of mushroom soup in them. You are more disciplined than I am! :-) topper

What should cook time be if using only boneless skinless chicken breast?
Donna John
I've never tried that. It would depend on thickness. I'd start checking doneness at about 20 minutes.
