Ingredients
- 2 duck breasts
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup mixed berries (raspberries, blackberries, strawberries)
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon erythritol or preferred keto sweetener
- Fresh thyme for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Duck: Score the skin of the duck breasts in a crosshatch pattern, being careful not to cut into the meat. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Sear the Duck: In a skillet over medium-high heat, place the duck breasts skin-side down. Cook for about 6-8 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden. Flip the duck and cook for an additional 4-6 minutes for medium doneness. Remove from the skillet and let rest.
- Make the Berry Sauce: In the same skillet, add the mixed berries and cook for 2-3 minutes until they start to break down. Pour in the chicken broth and balsamic vinegar, and add the erythritol. Stir and let simmer for about 5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Serve: Slice the duck breast and drizzle with the berry sauce. Garnish with fresh thyme if desired. Enjoy!
