- Leave the frying pan on the stove with all the chicken juice and stuff in there!!!!
- Arrange the chicken in a greased casserole dish.
- Grate the peel of one lemon, then juice it; set aside.

- Slice second lemon thinly and arrange over chicken.
- Pour on reserved lemon juice.
- Pour chicken broth into skillet with pan drippings.

Great when served over wild rice or black rice or quinoa…and try a vegetable as a side dish =)
I like it with steamed broccoli, salted and drizzled with lemon juice.
Here’s the chicken browned, in the casserole dish, with the brown sugar and grated lemon peel on top…
Juice that lemon…
Slice that other lemon…
Mix that broth into that pan…
Pour it all in…
Bake it!
Serve it!
Cut it up and eat it!
