Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and minced garlic. SautΓ© for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the fresh cranberries to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries begin to soften and burst.
Stir in hoisin sauce, honey, soy sauce, and water. Mix well to form the sauce.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over the top.
Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 15-18 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165Β°F (74Β°C).
Remove the skillet from heat. Garnish with sliced green onions and serve hot.
