chicken breast supreme

I didn't know this until recently that my Grandma Bea was a food columnist back in the day.  She said she could walk into ZCMI and take whatever she wanted to use for props in the photos that were taken then inserted into the newspaper.  Oh how I would have loved that.  She got to choose all the recipes or create her own.  This is a recipe she got from a dear friend of hers.

chicken breast supreme (adapted from my Grandma Bea)
1/4 cup flour
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 chicken breasts
1/4 cup butter
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 1/2 cups half and half or light cream
1-2 teaspoons grated lemon peel
1 cup Swiss cheese, shredded
1/2 cup chopped parsley for garnish

Combine flour, paprika and salt to coat chicken.  In a large skillet in hot butter, brown breasts on both sides.  Arrange in a 9x13 dish.  Mix cornstarch with half and half and lemon peel.  Stir into drippings in skillet.  Cook stirring over low heat until thick.  Pour over chicken.  Bake at 350 degrees uncovered for 50 minutes.  Sprinkle with cheese and bake until melted.
