INGREDIENTS
6 ounces Duck Breast (170g)
1 teaspoon Olive Oil (4.5g)
1 small Shallot (30g)
1 clove Garlic (3g)
1 teaspoon Fresh Thyme
1/4 cup Low-Sodium Chicken Broth (60g)
1/2 teaspoon Lemon Juice
PREPARATION
Score the skin of the duck breast in a crisscross pattern, being careful not to cut into the meat.
Pat the duck breast dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Place the duck breast skin-side down in the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the skin is deeply crispy and golden. Flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the meat side.
Remove the duck breast from the skillet and let it rest while you prepare the jus.
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the chopped shallot and minced garlic. Sauté until softened, about 1-2 minutes.
Add the fresh thyme and pour in the low-sodium chicken broth. Allow the mixture to simmer and reduce slightly, then stir in the lemon juice.
Slice the rested duck breast and arrange on a plate. Drizzle the herb jus over the duck, and serve immediately.
