Lemon Chicken with Rice

This was our dinner tonight, and it was really good!  Started by putting rice in the rice cooker and getting that going.  Cut two chicken breasts into smaller pieces, coated in a bit of flour, salt, pepper, and paprika.  Sauteed in a nonstick pan with a pad of margarine until brown on both sides.  Put about a cup of chicken stock in the pan (or enough to cover chicken) with the juice of one lemon and half a tsp-1tsp minced garlic and a tbsp or 2 of parsley flakes.  Simmered for about 10 minutes.  To thicken the sauce up a bit I took about a tsp of corn starch and a couple little spoonfuls of the sauce in the pan and mixed them together until smooth.  stir it in the bubbling sauce in the pan until it thickens.  Return the chicken to the pan and heat through.  In the meantime I microwaved some corn and plated the rice.  Put everything else on the plates and mmmm...dinner!
