If you’re not the type that wants to use duck, you can easily sub the duck breast out for a chicken thigh. Just remember that chicken thighs want to go into a hot pan (rather than a cold pan, since there isn’t as much fat to render), and that they take longer to cook. That said, chicken would still taste fantastic with this sauce!
