Ingredients
– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 cup fresh cranberries
– 1 cup orange juice (freshly squeezed is best)
– 1 tablespoon orange zest

Instructions
Creating this scrumptious Cranberry Orange Glazed Chicken is simple when you follow these steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
3. Sear the Chicken: In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts for about 5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
4. Make the Glaze: In a separate bowl, combine the cranberries, orange juice, orange zest, honey, soy sauce, and Dijon mustard. Stir well.
5. Add the Glaze: Pour the glaze over the seared chicken breasts in the skillet.
6. Bake: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
7. Baste the Chicken: Halfway through cooking, baste the chicken with the glaze to enhance flavor and moisture.
8. Rest the Chicken: Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
9. Garnish: If desired, sprinkle fresh parsley over the dish for an added touch of color.
