INGREDIENTS
6 oz Duck Breast (skin-on)
1/2 cup Fresh Cherries (pitted)
1 tbsp Balsamic Vinegar
1/4 cup Low-Sodium Chicken Broth
1/2 tsp Olive Oil
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Pat the duck breast dry with paper towels. Score the skin lightly in a crosshatch pattern, being careful not to cut into the meat. Season both sides with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Heat a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add the duck breast skin-side down. Allow the fat to render and the skin to become crispy, cooking for about 6-8 minutes until deeply golden and crisp.
Flip the duck breast and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes for medium-rare doneness (adjust cooking time to desired doneness). Remove the duck from the skillet and let it rest on a plate covered loosely with foil.
Drain excess fat from the skillet, leaving about 1/2 teaspoon. Lower the heat to medium and add the pitted cherries. Sauté for about 2 minutes until they begin to soften.
Deglaze the pan with balsamic vinegar and low-sodium chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits. Allow the sauce to simmer for 3-4 minutes until it slightly thickens. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Slice the duck breast thinly and drizzle with the warm cherry sauce. Serve immediately and enjoy the harmonious blend of crispy, savory duck with a sweet-tart sauce.
