TARRAGON CHICKEN 
Chicken breasts
Carrots
Celery
Onions
Tarragon
Oregano
Parsley
Sweet basil
Paprika
Salt/pepper
Garlic; optional
Butter
Lemon juice
Orange juice concentrate
Parmesan cheese

Clean chicken breasts, lay flat, skin side up in foil lined baking dish.

1. Sprinkle lightly all the above spices, but a BIT heavier on tarragon and sweet basil.

2. Melt about 1/3 cup butter and pour over chicken pieces.

3. Lightly squeeze lemon juice over chicken.

4. Roast uncovered 10-13 minutes at 475 degrees, or until lightly golden brown. It's hard to tell because of the spices covering the skin, but DON'T do this more than 15 minutes.

5. Remove from oven. Lower heat to 350 degrees. Spread about 1 tablespoon of orange juice concentrate on each 2 chicken breasts. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over all.

6. Add small, sliced carrots, onions, and celery (preferably UNDER chicken).

7. Cover dish tightly with foil and bake at 350 degrees. Do not peek until one hour later. No need to cook longer than that, unless pieces are very large, then maybe 10-15 minutes longer.

This dish is good served with rice.
