Ingredients
  

Chicken
  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
  • 1 cup orange juice
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
  • 2 tablespoons water (optional, for thickening)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Equipment

  • oven-safe skillet

Method
 

  1. Rinse the chicken thighs under cold water and pat them dry. Season with salt and black pepper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine cranberries, orange juice, honey, soy sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir until honey is dissolved.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken thighs for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  4. Pour the cranberry-orange sauce over the chicken. If desired, mix cornstarch with water and stir into the sauce for thickness. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F.
  5. Remove from oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
