Lemon Brown-Sugar Chicken
Serves 4
Hands down, my favorite chicken recipe. This is so easy and so incredibly tasty. Plus, leftovers make a killer sandwich or are awesome shredded over a big salad.

1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breast
1 cup fresh lemon juice
1 cup flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp paprika
1 tbsp grated lemon zest
2 tbsp brown sugar
2 tbsp chicken stock
2 tbsp canola oil

1. Combine the chicken and the lemon juice and marinate in the fridge for 30 minutes and up to overnight.

2. Drain the chicken. Set aside. Fill a plastic bag with the flour, salt, paprika, and a dash of pepper. Shake well. Add the chicken and shake well to coat completely.

3. Heat the canola oil in a large skillet (preferably cast iron). Add the chicken and cook for about 10 minutes or until browned. Take the chicken out of the pan, deglaze with the stock and then return the chicken to the pan and follow step 4.

4. Sprinkle the zest and brown sugar over the chicken and transfer it to the oven to finish baking for about half an hour or until the chicken has cooked through completely.
