Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 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

  1. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
  2. 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.
  3. In the same skillet, add cranberry sauce, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic. Stir well to combine.
  4. Bring the sauce to a simmer and let it cook for 2-3 minutes, or until it thickens slightly.
  5. Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the cranberry glaze over them. Allow them to heat through for about 2 minutes.
  6. Garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs if desired.
  7. 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!
