Cranberry Orange Chicken is a delightful dish that combines the savory taste of chicken with the sweet and tangy flavors of cranberry and orange. This recipe features a mouth-watering glaze made from fresh cranberries and orange juice, creating a perfect balance of flavors that will have your taste buds dancing with joy.

Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup fresh cranberries

1/2 cup orange juice

2 tbsp honey

1 tbsp olive oil

1 tbsp balsamic vinegar

1/4 tsp ground cinnamon

Salt and pepper to taste

1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then cook them for 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the fresh cranberries, orange juice, honey, balsamic vinegar, and ground cinnamon. Stir to combine and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the cranberries start to burst and the sauce thickens slightly.
  4. Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spoon some of the cranberry sauce over the chicken, and transfer the skillet to the oven.
  5. Roast the chicken in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  6. Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve the chicken with the cranberry orange sauce spooned over the top.
