Ingredients
Scale
4 pieces of boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup of fresh cranberries
1/2 cup of orange juice
1/4 cup of brown sugar
2 tablespoons of low-sodium soy sauce
4 cloves of minced garlic
1 tablespoon of grated ginger
2 tablespoons of olive oil
To taste of salt
To taste of pepper
For garnish: Fresh chopped parsley
Instructions
In a bowl, combine the orange juice, brown sugar, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Mix thoroughly. Submerge the chicken breasts into this zesty marinade. Marinate for at least 45 minutes in the refrigerator.
In a medium saucepan, combine the fresh cranberries, a splash of water, and a tablespoon of brown sugar. Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally until the cranberries burst and the sauce thickens (about 10-15 minutes).
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, season with salt and pepper, and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C).
Pour the cranberry glaze over the cooked chicken in the skillet. Simmer together for an additional 5 minutes.
Transfer the chicken to a serving platter, drizzle with remaining glaze, and garnish with chopped parsley.
Notes
A flavor-packed dish combining the sweetness of cranberries and oranges with savory chicken for a delightful meal.
