Cooking Steps
- Using a strainer, rinse rise until water runs clear.
- Add 1 3/4 cups (3 1/2 cups) water, chicken broth concentrate, half the thyme sprigs and 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) salt to a medium pot. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Once boiling, add rice, then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 22-25 min.
- Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.
- Meanwhile, pat duck dry with paper towels.
- Using a sharp knife, score the skin side of duck in a criss-cross pattern. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add duck, skin-side down, to a cold, large non-stick pan. Cook over medium heat until skin is crispy, 10-12 min. Flip and cook until golden, 2-3 min.
- Transfer duck to a parchment-lined baking sheet, skin-side up. Roast duck in the top of the oven until cooked through, 8-13 min.** Set aside to rest.
- Transfer 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) duck fat to a small bowl. Set aside.
- Meanwhile, peel, core, then cut apple into 1/4-inch pieces.
- Peel, then finely chop shallot.
- Cut broccoli into bite-sized pieces.
- Strip thyme leaves off of remaining stems.
- Heat a small pot over medium heat.
- When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter, then shallots. Cook, stirring often, until tender, 2-3 min.
- Increase heat to medium-high, then add apples, cranberries, brown sugar, mustard, vinegar, remaining thyme and 1/4 cup (1/2 cup) water.
- Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally, until chutney thickens and apples soften slightly, 4-6 min.
- Remove the pot from heat.
- Meanwhile, heat the same pan (from step 2) over medium.
- When hot, add broccoli and 1/4 cup (1/2 cup) water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until broccoli is tender-crisp, 4-5 min. Add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter. Cook, stirring often, until butter coats broccoli, 1 min.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Meanwhile, drizzle reserved duck fat over rice, then stir to combine.
- Thinly slice duck.
- Divide rice, duck and broccoli between plates.
- Spoon chutney over duck. (TIP: Any leftover chutney can be saved and refrigerated for up to 2 days. Serve with grilled cheese or cheese and crackers!)
