serves/makes:

ready in:
under 30 minutes

ingredients

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning mix
1 teaspoon paprika
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
1 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
3/4 cup canned low-salt fat free chicken broth
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
chopped Italian flat-leaf parsley for garnish

directions

Using a meat mallet, pound the chicken breast halves to 1/2 inch thick or less.

Combine flour, seasoning mix and paprika in shallow bowl. Season chicken with salt and pepper to taste. (Use 2 tablespoons of the seasoning mix if you like it spicy.)

Dip chicken into flour mixture, coating completely. Heat oil in heavy large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken to skillet and saute until golden brown and just cooked through (when juices run clear). Using tongs, transfer chicken to plate and cover to keep warm.

Add broth, lemon to skillet and bring to boil, scraping up browned bits. Boil until sauce thickens slightly and coats spoon, about 5 minutes. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper.

Spoon sauce over chicken and top with chopped parsley to serve.
