Ingredients

• 1 whole chicken, cut up or your favorite chicken parts, bone-in 
• 4 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1 cup flour
• 12 ounces (1 can) evaporated milk (divided)
• 10 ounces (1 can) cream of chicken soup
• 3/4 cup water

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. (You could use boneless chicken breasts or thighs, but would need to reduce the cooking time.)
• 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. (If you don't have evaporated milk, use half and half. )
• Bake another 25 to 30 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and browning on top. Sprinkle the top with parsley flakes, if desired. Serve.
