Preheat oven to 350. Butter a 9x13 inch baking pan.
Chicken should not be more than 1/2" thick. If they are, place them in a heavy freezer ziploc bag then pound them thinner.
Combine flour, paprika and salt in a flat bottomed pan. Whisk together, then place each piece of chicken in the flour and turn over to coat well.
Heat oil over medium- high heat in a large skillet. Put chicken in the oil and brown for about 2 minutes on each side. Don't overcrowd. Remove chicken, place in baking pan. Pour citrus juice in the hot skillet and stir to de-glaze and scrape up all browned bits. Pour this over the chicken. Sprinkle with the zest and the brown sugar.
Bake for 30 minutes.
