Chicken Piccata Iii - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon paprika
salt and pepper to taste
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into thin strips
1/4 cup vegetable oil
4 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced
1/4 cup lemon juice
3/4 cup chicken stock

Preparation

In a shallow bowl, mix together flour, paprika, and salt and pepper. Dredge chicken pieces in the seasoned flour.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat, and saute chicken until light golden brown (about 45 seconds each side). Remove chicken from skillet, and set aside.
