Mom’s Butter Baked Chicken
Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
| Chicken breasts (boneless, skinless) | 4 |
| Evaporated milk | 1 can (12 oz) |
| All-purpose flour | 1 cup |
| Salt | 1 1/2 teaspoons |
| Pepper | 1/8 teaspoon |
| Butter | 1/4 cup |
| Cream of Chicken soup | 1 can |
| Water | 1/4 cup |
How To Make Mom’s Butter Baked Chicken:
- Step 1: Preheat and Prepare Chicken: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour a small amount of the evaporated milk into a shallow dish, just enough for dipping the chicken. In a separate dish, combine the 1 cup flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper.
- Step 2: Dredge Chicken: Dip each piece of chicken breast in the evaporated milk, then dredge it thoroughly in the seasoned flour mixture.
- Step 3: First Bake: Melt the 1/4 cup butter directly in a 13×9 inch baking dish. Place the floured chicken pieces in the melted butter. Bake the chicken for 30 minutes at 350°F (175°C).
- Step 4: Prepare Sauce: While the chicken bakes, mix the 1/4 cup water, 1 can Cream of Chicken soup, and the remaining evaporated milk from the can together until smooth.
- Step 5: Finish Baking: After 30 minutes, carefully turn the chicken over in the pan. Pour the soup mixture evenly over the top of the chicken. Bake for 30 more minutes until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature 165°F/74°C) and the top is nice and golden brown.
