Cranberry Orange Glazed Chicken
A savory chicken dish glazed with a sweet and tangy cranberry-orange sauce.
Ingredients
For the Chicken
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Glaze
- 1 cup fresh cranberries
- 1 cup orange juice freshly squeezed is best
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- ¼ cup honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned on both sides, about 5-6 minutes per side. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add cranberries, orange juice, orange zest, honey, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, and garlic powder. Stir well and bring to a simmer.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the glaze over the chicken. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the glaze has thickened.
- Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve.
Notes
For a smoother glaze, blend the cranberry mixture before returning the chicken to the skillet.
