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.
