Creating the Honey Cranberry Chicken Bake is straightforward if you follow these steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Baking Dish: Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with cooking spray or olive oil.
3. Season the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper over the chicken.
4. Mix the Sauce: In a bowl, combine honey and balsamic vinegar. Stir until well mixed.
5. Add Cranberries: Pour the honey mixture over the chicken breasts. Scatter the cranberries evenly on top.
6. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-60 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.
7. Baste the Chicken: Halfway through baking, baste the chicken with the sauce to keep it moist and flavorful.
8. Check for Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
9. Rest the Chicken: Remove the dish from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
10. Garnish and Serve: Optionally, sprinkle fresh rosemary or parsley on top before serving.
