Grilled Chicken Breasts with Grapefruit Glaze

Ingredients

• 4  chicken breasts bone-in
• 1 tablespoon cooking oil 
• 2 cloves garlic minced
• 0.5 cup grapefruit juice (from 1 grapefruit)
• 1 teaspoon 1 teaspoon grapefruit zest (from about 1/2 grapefruit) (from)
• 0.3 teaspoon fresh-ground pepper black
• 2 tablespoons honey 
• 0.5 teaspoon salt 

Equipment

• bowl
• sauce pan
• grill

Directions

1. Light the grill. In a small bowl, combine the garlic, grapefruit zest, grapefruit juice, oil, honey, salt, and pepper.
2. Grill the chicken breasts over moderately high heat, brushing frequently with the glaze, for 8 minutes. Turn and cook, brushing with more glaze, until the chicken is just done, 10 to 12 minutes longer.
3. Remove.
4. In a small stainless-steel saucepan, bring the remaining glaze to a boil. Boil for about 1 minute, remove from the heat, and pour over the grilled chicken.
5. Menu Suggestions: Since the chicken breasts don't have a lot of sauce, serve a juicy vegetable such as grilled or sauted summer squash or zucchini alongside.
6. Variation: Grilled Chicken Breasts with Citrus Glaze: Use a combination of citrus juices, such as orange, lemon, or lime, instead of all or part of the grapefruit juice.
7. Wine Recommendation: The crisp acidity, effervescence, and moderate alcohol level of a brut Champagne from France or a sparkling wine from California will be perfect with the smokey taste here and with the high acidity of the grapefruit juice.
