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

This was very good! I tweaked it just a bit but not much though. Instead of just 1 TBSP Cajun seasoning I made sure to coat the chicken with Tony Chachere's. Also I didn't use Equal or any other kind of sweetener, I substituted the green peppercorns with about 1 TBSP Coarse Black Pepper, I used roughly 3 TBSP of freshly squeezed lemon juice, and I used a little more than 1/2 of a fairly large jalapeno. I also cooked the chicken with the sauce for a little longer (around 7-9mins). This recipe is kicking with an abundant amount of flavor. I enjoyed every bit of it. Hope my tweaks help.
