Oven-Roasted Cranberry Glazed Chicken

Ingredients

- 1 can (14 ounces) cranberry sauce
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup chicken broth

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Prepare the Chicken:
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

3. Make the Glaze:
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the canned cranberry sauce, brown sugar, soy sauce, minced garlic, and dried thyme. Stir well and heat until everything is fully blended and warmed through.

4. Sear the Chicken:
In a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil. Once the oil is hot, sear the chicken breasts for about 2 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown.

5. Add the Glaze:
Pour the heated cranberry glaze over the chicken in the skillet. Ensure each chicken breast is well-coated. Add the chicken broth to the skillet.

6. Roast in the Oven:
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Roast the chicken for 25 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

7. Finish and Serve:
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Spoon additional glaze from the skillet over the chicken before serving.
