This recipe of Chipotle Duck Breast With Orange Salsa gives the traditional Duck Breasts a l’Orange a spicy and fresh Latino twist. The orange salsa compliments the spicy and smoky taste of the chipotle duck breasts to perfection and this recipe is easier and quicker to make than the traditional Duck Breast a l’Orange.

I got inspired by our dog Sally’s favorite new dog food: Rachael Ray™ Nutrish® PEAK Northern Woodlands Recipe™ with Turkey, Duck & Quail and created a duck recipe to share with my wife after a fun weekend spent outdoors.

Our family loves spending time outdoors and we always try to pick pet friendly destinations and activities as we love to explore with our dog Sally in tow. This past weekend we decided to go out for a walk at one of our favorite local parks. This park has a great area just next to the Caloosahatchee river where you can enjoy a fun day outdoors and have a picnic all while enjoying beautiful views of the river.

For us feeding Sally with the a dog food that she not only loves but that we know is good for her is very important. When we got the opportunity to try Rachael Ray™ Nutrish® PEAK Northern Woodlands Recipe™ with Turkey, Duck & Quail we where very excited because we know that Rachael Ray™ Nutrish® PEAK is a great quality dog food that is made with protein-rich, grain-free recipes to satisfy your dog’s cravings. In 2007, with help from pet nutrition experts, Rachael Ray created Nutrish super-premium food and treats for dogs inspired by recipes from her own kitchen.

Now lets get to the delicious Chipotle Duck Breast With Orange Salsa recipe (for the humans in the house)! Duck breasts are one of my favorite foods, the gamey outdoorsy taste of the duck paired with just a little bit of smokey heat from the chipotle and the freshness of the orange salsa makes for a wonderful combination.

Instructions For the Chipotle Duck Breasts With Orange Salsa Recipe 

  • Remove excess fat from the sides of your duck breasts.
  • Using a sharp knife score the fat of duck breasts in a crosshatch pattern to form 1-inch diamonds.
  • Season both sides of breasts with salt and pepper.
  • Brush chipotle adobo sauce on the duck breasts turning it to cover all sides.
  • Place breasts, fat side down, in a medium skillet over medium-high heat for two minutes.
  • Reduce to medium heat and continue to cook undisturbed until skin is crisp and golden brown, about 6 more minutes.
  • Turn the duck breasts and continue cooking to desired doneness, about minutes more for medium-rare (125 degrees).
  • Remove from pan and allow meat to rest 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
  • While the duck is cooking mix the oranges, lime juice and cilantro in a bowl to make the orange salsa.
  • Serve with orange salsa.
