Creating Cranberry Orange Chicken is a breeze when you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, mix together orange juice, orange zest, honey, soy sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a zip-top bag and pour half the marinade over them. Seal the bag tightly and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
3. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) for even cooking.
4. Sear the Chicken: In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and sear each side for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown.
5. Add Cranberries: Pour the remaining marinade and cranberries into the skillet with the chicken.
6. Bake: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
7. Garnish and Serve: Once done, take it out of the oven, and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

By following these steps carefully, you’ll achieve a dish that dazzles the taste buds!
