4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon of canola oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 can of cranberry sauce
1/2 teaspoon of Cajun seasoning, or to taste
1/4 cup of ketchup
Juice of 1 fresh lemon (click for tip)
3 heaping tablespoons of light brown sugar
1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard
Couple splashes of apple cider vinegar
Small palmful of dried parsley
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Heat 1 tablespoon canola oil in a heavy bottomed skillet over medium high heat; reduce heat to medium and sear the chicken breasts just until light brown. Before removing from skillet, season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a baking pan with the seasoned side down and season the other side. Set aside.
To that same skillet, add the cranberry sauce, Cajun seasoning, ketchup, lemon juice, brown sugar, mustard, vinegar and parsley. Turn heat up to medium high and whisk all of the ingredients together until it begins to boil.
Pour the sauce over the chicken and bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes, basting occasionally, or until an instant read thermometer reads at 17o degrees and juices run clear.
