Season the chicken on both sides with salt, 1 teaspoon of sazon, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon cumin, and 1 teaspoon of onion powder.
Squeeze the orange juice and lime juice over the chicken, mix well to combine, and marinade for 30 minutes at room temperature.
Heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken to the skillet (not the marinade) and cook for 2 minutes on each side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
Add the onions and peppers and cook for 2 minutes. Add more oil if needed.
Stir in the garlic and cook for 20 seconds. Add the tomato sauce, remaining spices, and dry white wine. Deglaze the bottom of the skillet and simmer for 1-2 minutes.

Once the 30 minutes are up, stir in the potatoes and carrots and cook for another 30 minutes while stirring occasionally. If the sauce starts to thicken too much, add more water.
Check for seasoning and add more salt if needed. Serve immediately and enjoy!
