This recipe was so quick and easy. I did add a drop of Cointreau and my daughter loved it. I made it for one so divided quantities. - 28 Jan 2016

The duck breasts I used were a bit on the small side, but sauce was lovely. Definitely worth making again, but with more meat next time as it was so yummy.. - 10 Jul 2016

I made this for my husband who loves orange ..I had no duck so I used chicken breast and added a drop of Cointreau as suggested by Truffs it was gorgeus - 11 Mar 2017
