Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine the cranberry sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, and Dijon mustard until well blended.
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Transfer the seared chicken to a baking dish, and pour the cranberry glaze over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through (165°F internal temperature).
Serve warm, garnished with freshly chopped herbs if desired.

This dish pairs well with rice or roasted vegetables. Feel free to add a pinch of cayenne for some heat or use balsamic vinegar for a savory version.
