  • Heat the butter and olive oil in a large, non-stick, skillet over medium heat until butter is just melted.
  • Add the chicken breasts to the pan and cook for about 4 minutes on one side, until lightly browned.
  • Flip the breasts over and cook for 1 more minute, then add the minced garlic and onions to the pan and continue to cook for 3 more minutes, stirring the onions occasionally, until the onions are soft and the chicken has lightly browned on both sides.
  • Stir the chicken bouillon into the orange juice and add to the pan to deglaze. Add the cranberry sauce and paprika, stir to mix well.
  • Turn down the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. with a meat thermometer.
  • If you want to thicken the sauce a bit, uncover when cooking time is done, and turn the heat up to medium. Cook 2-3 minutes more until sauce has thickened.
