When milk’s involved, magic happens. The lactic acid in dairy milk tenderizes whatever it is you’re cooking It also makes its own sauce: Simply remove the meat, reduce the milk, and ta-da! This dish is named to honor actor Sal Mineo, who for many young gay men, was the first time they saw themselves in a film.
This creamy dreamy chicken will brighten your evening meal with a wonderful soft and juicy taste. Suggested sides, a green vegetable and mashed potatoes.
Ingredients:
3 – 4 chicken breasts, skinless ~ boneless
2 cans evaporated milk
|
2 tsp salt, plus more as needed 3 – 4 slices bacon, chopped |
|
2 oz butter |
|
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced |
|
1 tsp flour |
½ tsp Old Bay Seasonings
Directions:
Preheat oven to 300F.
Cook and render the bacon pieces. Season the chicken, then remove the bacon before searing the breasts on all sides.
Remove the browned chicken to a dish and cover with foil.
Add the onion and cook gently until soft, adding bacon and garlic midway.
Sauté for 3 to 4 minutes.
When they are golden and fragrant, scatter the rest of the seasonings and flour into the pan. Cook, stirring often, for 1 minute more. Gradually whisk two cans of milk and bring the mixture to simmer.
Place un-covered in pre heated oven.
Bake for about ½ an hour until the chicken is tender (about 160 to 165 degrees with a thermometer.) The milk should not only be reduced significantly but curdled and resembles flecks of ricotta.
If the milk is reducing too quickly, you can add more. If it hasn't reduced enough but the meat is ready, remove the meat to a separate plate and reduce the sauce on its own.
Let the chicken rest for 10 mins. This is a good time to microwave any side vegetables.

Sal Mineo
Salvatore Mineo Jr. better known to the world as Sal Mineo, was the baby-faced American actor whose legend and cult following largely stems from his iconic role as the doomed ‘Plato’ in Nicholas Ray’s 1955 classic of ‘switchblade cinema’ – ‘Rebel Without A Cause’.
In the movie Mineo played a troubled high-school kid who falls in love with James Dean’s character Jim Stark. (There are reports of a real-life love affair between the two off-set).This was the role for which he would earn the first of two Academy Award nominations.
He was born in 1939 of Sicilian descent; his father was born in Italy and his mother, of Italian origin, was born in the United States. He attended the Quintano School for Young Professionals. Mineo's mother enrolled him in dancing and acting school at an early age.
He had his first stage appearance in Tennessee Williams' play The Rose Tattoo (1951). He also played the young prince opposite Yul Brynner in the stage musical The King and I. Brynner took the young man under his wing and worked to help Mineo better himself as an actor.
Mineo's breakthrough as an actor came in Rebel Without a Cause (1955), in which he played a sensitive teenager smitten with main character Jim Stark (played by James Dean). Mineo's performance resulted in an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor, making him one of the youngest nominees in the category.
In Giant (1956), Mineo played a Mexican boy killed in World War II. Many of his subsequent roles were variations of his role in Rebel Without a Cause, and he was typecast as a troubled teen.
In the Disney adventure Tonka (1958), Mineo starred as a young Sioux named White Bull who traps and domesticates a clear-eyed, spirited wild horse named Tonka that becomes the famous Comanche, the lone survivor of Custer's Last Stand. By the late 1950s, Mineo was a major celebrity. He was sometimes referred to as the "Switchblade Kid", a nickname he earned from his role as a criminal in the movie Crime in the Streets (1956).
In 1957, Mineo made a brief foray into pop music by recording a handful of songs and an album. "Start Movin' (In My Direction)", reached No. 9 on Billboard's pop chart. It sold over one million copies and was awarded a gold record. He starred as drummer Gene Krupa in the movie The Gene Krupa Story (1959).
Mineo made an effort to break his typecasting. In addition to his roles as a Native American brave in Tonka (1956), and a Mexican boy in Giant (1956), he played a Jewish Holocaust survivor in Exodus (1960); for his work in Exodus, he won a Golden Globe Award and received his second Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor.
By the early 1960s, Mineo was becoming too old to play the type of role that had made him famous. Mineo was baffled by his sudden loss of popularity, later saying: "One minute it seemed I had more movie offers than I could handle; the next, no one wanted me.
Mineo's role as a stalker in Who Killed Teddy Bear (1965), did not seem to help his career. Although praised by critics, he found himself typecast again—this time as a deranged criminal. The high point of this period was his portrayal of Uriah in The Greatest Story Ever Told (1965).
In 1969, Mineo returned to the stage to direct a Los Angeles production of the LGBT-themed play Fortune and Men's Eyes (1967), featuring then unknown Don Johnson as Smitty and himself as Rocky. The production received positive reviews, however its expanded prison rape scene was criticized as excessive and gratuitous. Mineo's last role in a motion picture was a small part in the film Escape from the Planet of the Apes (1971).
By 1976, Mineo's career had begun to turn around. While playing the role of a bisexual burglar in a series of stage performances of the comedy P.S. Your Cat Is Dead in San Francisco, Mineo received substantial publicity from many positive reviews; he moved to Los Angeles along with the play.
In 1962 his “girlfriend”, Jill Haworth, reportedly caught the 35-year-old actor in bed with his buddy, singer Bobby Sherman. “But he didn’t stop,” she said. “He kept going at it.” Rumors of Mineo’s sexuality circulated. He found serious work even more difficult to procure, predominantly because filmmakers saw him as an embarrassing relic of the 1950s.
In a 1972 interview with Boze Hadleigh, Mineo discussed his bisexuality. At the time of his death, he was in a six-year relationship with male actor Courtney Burr III.
After parking his car in the carport below his West Hollywood apartment, the 37-year-old was stabbed in the heart by a mugger who quickly fled the scene. Police pursued multiple leads but assumed the crime to be of "homosexual motivation". Two years latter, Lionel Williams was sentenced to 57 years in prison for both killing Mineo and committing ten robberies in the same area. Corrections officers said they had overheard Williams admitting to the stabbing. Williams' wife later confirmed that on the night Mineo died, he had come home with blood on his shirt. He was paroled in the early 1990s.
Mineo was buried at Gate of Heaven Cemetery in Hawthorne, New York.
