Step-by-Step Method
Preheat oven, prepare pan
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Prepare a medium-sized baking dish or deep tray; Having a container to collect the sauce makes it easier.
Prepare the flour mixture
Mix flour, salt, pepper and paprika in a plate. Coat the chickens in this mixture and gently shake off the excess flour.
Mix the sauce
In a bowl, combine lemon zest, brown sugar, fresh lemon juice, and water. Stir briefly until the sugar dissolves.
Arrange the chicken on the tray
Place the floured chicken breasts in a single layer in the baking dish. Pour the lemon sauce you prepared on top.
Cook and press occasionally
Bake in the oven for 25–35 minutes. At the 15th minute, spoon the sauce over the chicken; Thus, it cooks before the surface dries.
Check the consistency, serve
Take it out when the chicken is fully cooked and turns white inside. If the sauce is too watery, keep it in the oven for another 2–3 minutes. Serve hot with lemon slices.
