cooking advice?

Last night I was tired, so I made fairly simple baked chicken -- a cut-up chicken in a baking dish with some cloves of garlic and shallots and the juice of a lemon and an orange squeezed over it. (Also olive oil, salt and pepper.) I ate a piece of it and put the whole pan in the fridge.

Tonight, I took it out for leftovers and discovered that the pan is full of jelly and fat, all full of orange and lemon and chickeny goodness. And I'm wondering if there's something I can do with that stuff, because it smells like it might be tasty. Some kind of gravy, I guess, but I don't have any use for that.

Any advice?

Thanks for the advice -- it hadn't occurred to me that the citrus would be an issue, because citrus and chicken just go together in my head.

It may have been the amount of lemon juice we use in the sauce, as it's almost equal parts to the olive oil, but it was an interesting flavor in a soup. I didn't like it. John says he could eat if he had to... ;-P
