Ingredients

• 2 pieces Chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
• 0.5 cup Dried cranberries
• 0.5 cup Chicken broth
• 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
• 0.25 cup Fresh orange juice
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Slice each chicken breast in half horizontally to create thin cutlets.

Step 2

In a shallow bowl, mix the flour, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 3

Dredge the chicken cutlets in the flour mixture, coating both sides, and shake off any excess.

Step 4

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken cutlets and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low and add the butter. Allow it to melt.

Step 6

Stir in the dried cranberries and chicken broth. Let it simmer for 3-4 minutes until the cranberries begin to soften.

Step 7

Add the orange juice, honey, and fresh thyme (if using). Stir well and let the sauce simmer for another 2-3 minutes to thicken slightly.

Step 8

Return the chicken cutlets to the skillet, spooning the cranberry sauce over the top. Let the chicken heat through for 2-3 minutes.

Step 9

Remove from heat and serve the Cranberries Chicken Cutlet warm. Garnish with extra thyme or orange zest, if desired.
