Steps

1. Score the skin of the duck breast in a crisscross pattern without cutting into the meat. 2. Season the duck breast on both sides with salt, pepper, and thyme. 3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, then place the duck breast skin-side down in the skillet. 4. Cook for about 6-8 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden brown. Flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes. 5. Remove the duck from the skillet and let it rest. 6. In the same skillet, add honey, orange juice, and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the pan. 7. Reduce the sauce until it thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. 8. Slice the duck breast and drizzle the orange reduction over the top before serving.

Ingredients

1 duck breast (about 6 oz) 1 tablespoon honey 1/2 orange (juiced) 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon black pepper 1/2 teaspoon thyme (fresh or dried) 1 tablespoon olive oil 1/4 cup chicken broth
