The Inn At Cedar Falls






List of Ingredients



• 8 chicken breasts, skinned and boned
  
• 1 cup fresh lemon juice
  
• 1 cup flour
  
• 1 tsp paprika
  
• 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  
• 1/4 cup oil
  
• 1 Tbsp grated lemon zest
  
• 1/8 cup brown sugar
  
• 1/8 cup chicken stock
  
• 2 lemons, sliced paper thin
  






Instructions



1. Combine chicken and lemon juice in a bowl just large enough to hold them comfortably. Cover and marinate in refrigerator 8 hours or overnight. Turn occasionally.
   
   
2. Drain chicken thoroughly and pat dry. Fill a plastic bag with the flour, paprika and black pepper; shake to mix. Put 2 pieces of chicken into the bag and shake, coating completely. Repeat until all chicken pieces are coated.
   
   
3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Heat the oil in a frying pan until hot. Fry chicken pieces, a few at a time, until brown and crisp. This will take about 6 to 8 minutes per batch.
   
   
4. Arrange chicken in a single layer in a shallow baking pan. Sprinkle evenly with lemon zest and brown sugar. Mix chicken stock and lemon juice together and pour around the chicken pieces. Put a slice of lemon on top of each piece of chicken.
   
   Bake chicken for 35 to 40 minutes, until golden brown.
