Keeping a can of frozen orange juice concentrate in the freezer means you can make more than just orange juice. Try it in a variety of orange-flavored recipes.
Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.

The directions omit what to do with the remaining half of the zucchini and cheese mixture. We repeated the layering and then topped with the chicken. The directions also say to use a 9x9 pan which certainly wasn't large enough for 6 chicken breast halves (3 whole chicken breasts boned and split). Use whatever pan you have that fits the chicken in a single layer.
