Steps:
- Sprinkle chicken with thyme, salt and pepper. Heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until brown, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to plate. Add all remaining ingredients to skillet; bring to boil, scraping up any browned bits and whisking to blend well.

Tips:
- To make the most of the cranberry compote, use fresh cranberries. If you can't find them, frozen cranberries will work just as well.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the cranberries by hand. Just be sure to chop them finely so that they will cook evenly.
- Don't skip the step of browning the chicken. This step helps to develop the flavor of the chicken and makes the sauce richer.
- If you want a thicker sauce, you can add a cornstarch slurry to the compote. Just mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water and whisk it into the compote until it thickens.
- Serve the chicken with mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables.
Conclusion:
This chicken with cranberry compote is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is moist and flavorful, and the cranberry compote is tart and sweet. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
