Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.
Bacon and Cheese Stuffed Chicken

This bacon and cheese stuffed chicken is obviously delicious, but it's surprisingly pretty easy too. Not too much extra effort over regular chicken yet you're left with a savory dish in a rich sauce.

ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
2 ounces sharp Cheddar cheese, cut into pieces
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon paprika (optional)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon cornstarch
2/3 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
directions
With a sharp knife, cut a pocket into the thickest side of each chicken breast.
Stuff each half with 1/4 of the bacon and a piece of cheese. Seal with a toothpick. Sprinkle chicken with salt, pepper and paprika. Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook 4 minutes per side, until browned. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and cook 10 minutes until chicken is cooked through. Remove from skillet and cover loosely with foil to keep warm. Stir cornstarch into chicken broth with a fork until dissolved. Add to skillet and bring to a boil, scrapping up browned bits on bottom of skillet.
Cook 3 minutes, until sauce is thickened. Add chopped parsley. To serve, spoon over chicken.

It made a simple dish more interesting and tastes good too.

Delicious! I used precooked bacon that I chopped (less mess) and swiss cheese. Some of the cheese leaked out but most of it stayed in.

I like that this recipe had you cut a pocket in the chicken instead of rolling it around the filling because I can never get that method to work without the filling all falling out. I actually used a little more bacon and cheese per chicken breast. I kept the spices the same. Very good recipe and very simple.

very tasty varieation of chicken breast. My girlfriend and I both loved it. Do not be intimidated, it is not as hard as you'd think. I paired it with steamed greenbeans with toasted almonds and garlic red mashed potatoes.
