Notes

You can either use duck breast or chicken breast, you choose! The calorie count is off because it includes all the curry sauce but you won't use it all on the breasts!

Helpful tips

Crispy duck and curry sauce goes so well on rice.
Instead of yellow curry paste, you could use either green or red curry paste. I prefer the yellow paste in this dish.
