Ingredients

12 oz boneless chicken thighs
1/2 cup fresh cranberries
3 tbsp orange juice
2 tbsp maple syrup
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp dried thyme
1/4 tsp salt

Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add chicken thighs and cook for 5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through, then remove and set aside.
Step 3: Add 1/2 cup fresh cranberries and 3 tbsp orange juice to the skillet, scraping up any browned bits. Simmer for 3 minutes until cranberries burst, then stir in 2 tbsp maple syrup. Return chicken to skillet, coating evenly with glaze, and cook for 2 more minutes until sauce thickens slightly and clings to the chicken.
