CHICKEN WITH HONEY AND GRAPEFRUIT

Chicken breast portions cook very quickly and are ideal for suppers “on-the-run” — but don’t be tempted to overcook them. You could substitute boneless turkey breasts, or duck breast fillets for the chicken, if you like.

INGREDIENTS
4 chicken breast portions, skinned
3—4 tablespoons honey
1 pink grapefruit, skinned and cut into 12 segments
salt and black pepper
noodles and salad leaves, to serve

SERVES 4

1. Make three quite deep, diagonal slits in the chicken flesh, using a large sharp knife.

2. Brush the chicken all over with the honey and sprinkle well with seasoning.

3. Put the chicken in a flameproof dish, the uncut side facing up, and place under a medium broiler for 2—3 minutes.

4. Turn the chicken over and place the grapefruit segments in the slits. Brush with more honey and cook for another 5 minutes, or until tender. If necessary, reduce the heat so that the honey glaze does not burn. Serve at once with noodles and salad leaves.
