Duck and Rice Side Dish

This could use a better name, but I just kinda threw some stuff together in a skillet and it was delicious! From the “Quacktastic” episode of The Sporting Chef TV show on Sportsman Channel. This could be a main course dish as well.

  • Add duck and cook until lightly browned. Add rice and chicken broth. Stir to combine contents of the skillet and cook until hot.
