Begin by seasoning your boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs generously with salt and pepper. Allow the chicken to sit for about 10 minutes.

Heat a large, non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and drizzle in a tablespoon of oil. Add the seasoned chicken pieces and sear for approximately 5-7 minutes on each side.

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add one cup of cranberries, half a cup of orange juice, honey, soy sauce, and minced garlic. Cook for about 5-8 minutes until the cranberries begin to burst and the mixture thickens.

Return the seared chicken to the skillet, ensuring each piece is well coated in the glaze. Let simmer on low heat for an additional 5-10 minutes.

Remove from heat. Garnish with orange zest or fresh cranberries if desired, and serve warm.
