Savor the crispiness of a perfectly seared duck breast paired with a fragrant herb jus that brings out the rich, savory flavors of the meat. A delightful dish with a balance of lush protein and a hint of acidity, ideal for a memorable dinner experience.
INGREDIENTS
8 oz duck breast (with skin)
1 tsp olive oil
1/4 cup low sodium chicken broth
1 tbsp fresh thyme
1 tsp fresh rosemary
1 tsp balsamic vinegar
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the duck breast dry with a paper towel. Use a sharp knife to score the skin in a crisscross pattern, being careful not to cut into the meat.
Season the duck breast generously on both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Place the duck breast skin-side down and cook for about 6-8 minutes until the skin is deeply crispy and golden.
Flip the duck breast and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of about 135°F.
Remove the duck breast from the skillet and let it rest on a cutting board, loosely covered with foil.
Lower the heat to medium and deglaze the skillet by adding the low sodium chicken broth and balsamic vinegar, stirring to lift any browned bits off the pan.
Add the fresh thyme and rosemary to the jus, allowing the flavors to meld for about 1-2 minutes.
Slice the duck breast thinly and drizzle the herb jus over the slices before serving.
