With a thick layer of fat, and a deeper, meatier flavor than chicken, duck breast is a great way to bring a fancy French feel to your dinner. 
Pan sear for a traditional preparation, or try your hand at confit. Duck breast pairs beautifully with fruit sauces and chutneys to counter the heavy, fatty flavor. Use the leftover rendered fat to make some duck-fat fried potatoes for an absolutely decadent side.
