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.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 75°C.
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

Ensure the chicken is not overcrowded in the skillet for even cooking.
You can adjust the sweetness of the glaze by adding more or less honey.
For a spicier kick, consider adding red pepper flakes to the marinade.
