Duck Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

1

Prepare the Duck

Score the skin of the duck breasts in a crosshatch pattern, taking care not to cut into the meat. This helps render the fat.

2

Seasoning

Season both sides of the duck breasts with salt and black pepper.

3

Sear the Duck

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Place the duck breasts skin-side down and cook for about 6-8 minutes, until the skin is crispy and golden brown.

4

Flip and Add Aromatics

Flip the duck breasts and add minced garlic and thyme to the skillet. Cook for another 3-4 minutes.

5

Baste

Spoon the rendered fat over the duck breasts while they cook.

6

Add Broth

Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

7

Finish with Butter

Remove the duck breasts from the skillet, let rest for a few minutes, then swirl in the butter to the sauce before serving.

8

Serve

Slice the duck breasts and serve with the pan sauce drizzled over the top.
