Ingredients

  • 6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

  • 2 cups fresh lemon juice

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 ½ teaspoons salt

  • 2 teaspoons paprika

  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

  • ½ cup vegetable oil

  • cup light brown sugar

  • ¼ cup chicken broth

  • 6 slices lemon

  • ½ cup finely minced fresh parsley

Directions

  1. To Marinate: Combine chicken and lemon juice in a large resealable plastic bag. Squeeze out air and seal bag. Refrigerate to marinate overnight, turning once.

  2. Remove chicken from marinade, reserving 2 tablespoons marinade and disposing of the remainder. Mix together flour, salt, paprika and pepper in a large resealable plastic bag. Add chicken breasts one at a time, seal bag and shake to coat evenly.

  3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  4. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Fry coated chicken until well browned, about 10 to 15 minutes. Arrange browned chicken in a 9x13 inch baking dish and sprinkle with brown sugar. Mix broth with reserved marinade and pour mixture over chicken. Top each breast with a lemon slice and sprinkle all with parsley.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 to 30 minutes, or until cooked through (juices run clear) and tender.
