4 skinned, boned duck breast halves |
1/2 teaspoon salt, divided |
1 1/4 teaspoons chinese five-spice powder, divided |
2 teaspoons olive oil |
1/2 cup finely chopped shallots |

Directions:
1. Drain cherries, reserving 1/4 cup of syrup. Set aside.
2. Place duck between 2 sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap; flatten to even thickness, using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
