Warm a heavy bottomed ovenproof skillet over medium heat.

Place the duck breasts, fat side down, in the skillet to render off the fat, about 6 minutes. Drain Turn the duck breasts over and sear for 1 minute. Turn the fat side down again and place the skillet into the oven to roast for 7 to 9 minutes, until breasts are medium rare. Let the duck breasts rest for 5 minutes then thinly slice.Transfer to a serving plate.

Meanwhile, bring chicken broth to a boil in a saucepan over medium high heat. Reduce heat and stir in lingonberries and red wine. Continue cooking for about 7 minutes, or until slightly thickened, stirring occasionally.
