- Prep Time: 10 minutes
- Cook Time: 20 minutes
- Total Time: 30 minutes
- Yield: 4 servings 1x
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup cranberry sauce (homemade or store-bought)
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Fresh rosemary sprigs for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through and no longer pink in the center. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
- In the same skillet, add cranberry sauce, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic. Stir well to combine.
- Bring the sauce to a simmer and let it cook for 2-3 minutes, or until it thickens slightly.
- Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the cranberry glaze over them. Allow them to heat through for about 2 minutes.
- Garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs if desired.
- Serve hot and enjoy this deliciously sweet and savory cranberry glazed chicken!
Notes
Be careful not to overcook the chicken; it should be tender and juicy. You can use a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). If you prefer a smoother glaze, you can use an immersion blender to blend the cranberry sauce until it’s silky. Serve this dish with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple green salad. Enjoy!
