    Made a thick and juicy sauce for brussels; served over rice and added chicken breast that was braised in OJ and seasoned with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Excess OJ from chicken was poured over meal. Made for a citrus flavoured dish. Could added in some toasted sesame seeds or almonds next time. - 2/23/11
