This was really lovely and went well with the duck breasts I served it with instead of chicken. I have only given it 4 instead of 5 stars as we found it a little too orange tasting for us so added some port to the sauce to counter it. We really enjoyed it after that and would make it again, but I would just cut back on the orange juice next time. I served ours over celeriac mash for a super yummy meal. Cheers Tisme :)
