Preheat oven to 350°.
Sprinkle chicken evenly with salt and pepper; coat with cooking spray.
Heat a nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Add chicken, meat side down, to pan; cook 5 minutes or until browned. Transfer chicken to a 13 x 9- inch baking dish coated with cooking spray.
Combine cranberry sauce and next 5 ingredients in a small bowl, stirring until blended. Pour evenly over chicken. Cover and bake at 350° for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake an additional 30 minutes or until chicken is done. Transfer chicken to a serving platter, reserving drippings; keep warm.
