Steps:
- Season chicken breasts w/salt & pepper. Heat olive oil in a deep pan, fry chicken breasts on both sides till golden brown, remove from pan & set aside.
- Brown the diced carrot & onion in the oil & meat juices. Add orange & lime juice, sugar & white wine. Reduce sauce slightly to intensify the flavors.
- Transfer mixture to a blender, puree & season w/salt & pepper to taste (I would use my immersion blender for this step).
- Return puree mixture to pan, place chicken breasts in the sauce w/any juice accumulated while set aside & gently simmer for 10 min (covered). Serve immediately as per the following note.
- TO SERVE: Plate ea chicken breast. Make 4 diagonally angled cuts from side-to-side to create 5 slightly fanned medallions, but do not cut all the way through the breast. Place a halved orange slice in ea of the slits. Stir puree sauce, ladle a bit over the length of ea breast & the rest equally along both sides of the chicken breast.

THE BEST BAKED CHICKEN BREASTS
The downfall of most baked chicken breast recipes is the long time in the oven that dries out the lean meat before it can fully cook through. We've solved that problem with a couple of secret weapons. The first is white wine added to the baking dish, which creates steam. (While we think it's worth using wine, you could substitute stock or even water.) The second is a piece of parchment paper placed directly on top of the chicken to lock in the moisture during baking. The result is the best boneless, skinless chicken breasts that are plump and juicy, with a minimum of hands-on time. A bunch of parsley and lemon slices infuse the dish with fresh flavor and the seasoning is neutral enough that the chicken can be used for a variety of different meals. Serve it alongside vegetables and grains, shredded into soup, spiced up for tacos or chopped on top of salad. Feel free to switch up the herbs and citrus if you have leftovers in the fridge to use up.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Place the parsley in the center of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and top with the lemon slices. Pour the wine around the parsley. Brush the tops of the chicken with the olive oil and season with the paprika, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Arrange the chicken breasts on top of the lemon slices. Cut an 8-by-10-inch piece of parchment and place it on top of the chicken.
- Bake until the chicken registers 165 degrees F on a digital thermometer, 40 to 45 minutes. Let sit for 5 minutes before serving. The chicken can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
