Citrus Brown Sugar Chicken
recipe adapted from Eat Live Run
Yield: 4 servings
1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs or breasts
zest of 1 large orange or 2 medium lemons, about 1 tablespoon zest
juice of 1 large orange or 2 medium lemons, about 1/3 - 1/2 cup total
1 cup flour, I used brown rice flour
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon brown sugar
Preheat
oven to 350. If the pieces of chicken are more than 1/2" thick, place
them in a heavy freezer ziploc bag and pound them thinner. Combine the
flour, paprika and salt in a flat bottomed bowl or pan. Whisk together
and then drop each piece of chicken in the flour and flip to coat well.
Heat
the oil over medium high heat in a large flat skillet. Place each piece
of chicken in the oil and brown for about 2 minutes on each side.
Remove the chicken and place in a 9x13 baking pan. Pour the citrus juice
in the hot skillet stir to de-glaze and scrape up all the browned bits.
Pour this mixture over the chicken. Sprinkle with the zest and the
brown sugar. Bake for 30 minutes. Enjoy!
