ZESTY LEMON CHICKEN


6 whole chicken breasts, boned
2 cups fresh lemon juice
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. paprika
1 tsp. ground black pepper
1/2 cup oil
2 Tbsp. grated lemon peel
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup chicken broth
2 lemons, sliced
minced fresh parsley

In plastic bag, combine chicken breasts and lemon juice.  Squeeze out air and seal.  Refrigerate overnight.

Remove chicken, reserving 2 Tbsp. of marinade, and pat dry.  Put flour, slat, paprika and pepper in a bag.  Shake until well mixed.  Put chicken in bag, one at a time and shake to coat evenly.  Fry in heated oil and brown breasts individually.  Arrange in a single layer in a baking dish.  Sprinkle evenly with lemon peel and brown sugar.  Mix broth with reserved 2 Tbsp. of marinade and pour around chicken.  Place a thin lemon slice on top of each breast and sprinkle with minced parsley.  Bake at 350 degrees for 20-30 minutes.
