Recipes

I was browsing through some of my cookbooks, and I came across a cookbook that several moms from an internet forum had created back around October 2005. I found some of my favorite recipes that I'd forgotten about, and two that I had lost and could not find (I had submitted them, and I'm sooo glad I did)!

So this week, i'm going to give you a recipe for Lemon Chicken.
6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
2 c. fresh lemon juice
1 c. all purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp paprika
1 tsp ground black pepper
1/2 c. vegetable oil
1/3 c. light brown sugar
1/4 c. chicken broth
6 slices lemon
1/2 c. finely minced fresh parsley

Combine chicken and lemon juice in a large resealable plastic bag. Squeeze out air and seal bag. Refrigerate to marinate overnight, turning once. 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, shake to coat evenly. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Fry coated chicken until well browned, about 10-15 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. Bake in the preheated oven fvor about 20 to 30 minutes, or until cooked through and tender.

Buon Appetit!
