Health benefits of Orange and Sage Glazed Duck Breast

Spinach is a nutrient-dense leafy green vegetable that is rich in vitamins A, C, and K, as well as iron, magnesium, and antioxidants. The high iron content in spinach helps combat anemia, which is common in women with PCOS. Magnesium helps reduce inflammation and improve insulin sensitivity. The antioxidants in spinach can help lower oxidative stress, which is beneficial for managing PCOS symptoms. Including spinach in your diet can support overall health and well-being.

Ingredients

1 6 oz. Duck Breast
2 tbsp. Butter
1 tbsp. Heavy Cream
1 tbsp. Swerve Sweetener
1/2 tsp. Orange Extract
1/4 tsp. Sage
1 cup Spinach

Instructions

1. Score the duck skin on top of the breast.
2. Season duck breast on both sides with salt and pepper.
3. In a pan over medium-low heat, add butter and swerve. Let this cook down until the butter has slightly browned.
4. Once butter has turned a dark golden color, add sage and orange extract. Let this cook until butter is a deep amber color.
