Ingredients

2 chicken breasts
salt and black pepper
1 tablespoon oil
1 cup cranberry sauce (250g-300g)

Instructions

Pre heat the oven to 350F / 180c.
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat the oil in an oven proof skillet on a medium high heat.
Once the oil is hot, brown the chicken breast on both sides (about 4 to 5 minutes on each side).
Take the skillet off of the heat, and top the chicken breasts with the cranberry sauce.
Cover the skillet tightly with foil and bake in the oven for 30 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Season the chicken breast well before searing it.
Let the chicken come up to room temperature before searing it. This will help it to be more tender.
Cooking times will vary depending on the thickness of your chicken.
