3) Remove the cooked breasts on a plate, cover and allow to rest, until serving. Drain off any excess fat and saute the other 3 breast pieces.
4) Drain off the skillet fat, lightly wipe with a paper towel and heat the skillet over a medium-high heat.
5) Add the chicken broth and any duck juices. Bring to a boil, scrap the bottom of the pan and boil for 1 minute.
6) Lower the heat to medium and stir in the black currant preserves and cassis. Stir and cook for 5 to 6 minutes, until slightly thickened.
SERVING
