Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup (100 g) fresh cranberries
- 240 ml freshly squeezed orange juice
- 1 tablespoon (6 g) orange zest
- 60 ml honey
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) olive oil
- 1 tablespoon (15 g) Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon (3 g) garlic powder
- Salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, finely chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Set oven temperature to 190°C.
- Pat chicken breasts dry and season both sides evenly with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken breasts on both sides for approximately 5 minutes per side until golden brown.
- In a mixing bowl, combine cranberries, orange juice, orange zest, honey, soy sauce, and Dijon mustard. Stir until thoroughly incorporated.
- Pour cranberry orange glaze over seared chicken in the skillet, ensuring even coverage.

- Halfway through baking, use a spoon to baste chicken with pan juices for maximum flavor and moisture.
- Remove skillet from oven. Allow chicken to rest for 5 minutes before slicing to retain juices.
- Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving, if desired.
Notes
