Ingredients
Chicken
- 4 (6-ounce) boneless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon jerk marinade
Sauce
- Juice of 2 Florida Grapefruits (about 16 oz. of juice)
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 2 cups no-sodium chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon cilantro finely chopped
- Non-stick cooking spray
Salad
- 2 Florida Grapefruit (peeled, segmented and coarsely chopped)
- 2 papaya (peeled, seeded and diced)
- Fresh cracked black pepper, to taste
- 16 grape tomatoes sliced in half (lengthwise)
- 4 fresh (1/4-inch) pineapple rings
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 cups arugula
Instructions
- Place chicken breasts and jerk marinade in a large zip-top bag, seal, and refrigerate for one hour. Remove chicken from the zip-top bag and place on a hot grill. Grill chicken breast until thoroughly cooked, about 15-20 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.
- In a heavy skillet over medium-high heat, sauté garlic with non-stick cooking spray, then add chicken stock and grapefruit juice. Bring to a boil, lower temperature to medium-low, and reduce to syrup. Add cilantro. Stir well and set aside. In a large bowl, combine arugula, olive oil, chopped grapefruit, and pepper together. Toss the ingredients to coat arugula. Add tomatoes and papaya.
- Place one pineapple ring on the center of 4 dinner-size plates. Top each ring with one grilled chicken breast. Divide salad into 4 equal parts and place on the grilled chicken breast. Drizzle plates with sauce.
