“Good dealership, which as you know is not easy to find, we just bought a truck and everything was done by the high standards. Rich was really nice and not less than extra helpful through all the process. (HONDA).”

“Great experience here. My mom bought a 2023 subaru crosstrek from here 2 years ago because she needed a new car. My step father, my mother and I went here to get her car inspected and I needed a new ride. Awesome staff. Jack helped me out finding a new ride and test driving a car. Financing department was great too. I ended up getting a 2022 subaru legacy from here. I really love the car a lot and I enjoy driving it. I'll be coming here for my services and inspections..” (Subaru)

“I've been taking my car to Brilliance's Service Center for almost a decade, despite not owning a Honda. The time finally came for a new car, and I knew it had to be a Honda. I worked with Jeff who was very personable and helped us get taken care of. Highly recommend Brilliance for your new car, and be sure to ask for Jeff!.”

  • 1 lb chicken, cut into bite-sized pieces (can use any protein)

  • 1 Tbsp chives, finely chopped (can sub garlic, onion, green onion)

  • Toss the chicken or protein of choice in with the vegetables.

  • To make the sauce, combine all ingredients in a bowl and stir to combine.

  • Pour the sauce in with the protein and vegetables and allow it to get bubbly.

  • Stir and cook the vegetables and protein with the sauce until the protein is cooked through completely.
