Ingredients

  • Boneless Skinless Fresh Chicken Breast 12 oz (2 small breasts or 1 large butterflied) $8.99 regular (1 lb)
  • Fresh Large Ruby Red Grapefruit - Each 1 grapefruit (juice + a few supremes optional) $2.49/lb (each)
  • Simple Truth Organic® Low Sodium Free Range Chicken Broth 1/2 cup $1.99 sale (32 oz)
  • Jumbo Yellow Onions 1/2 medium onion, thinly sliced $1.29 sale/lb
  • Kroger® Whole Garlic Bulbs 2 cloves, minced $2.49 (5 ct)
  • Butter 1 Tbsp
  • Olive oil 1 Tbsp
  • Salt & black pepper To taste
  • Kroger® Green Beans 12 oz, trimmed $4.49 (12 oz)
  • Honey or brown sugar (optional) 1 tsp (if grapefruit is very tart)

Instructions

  1. Prep: zest grapefruit if you want extra aroma. Juice it (you need ~1/3 cup).
  2. Cook chicken: season chicken with salt/pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high. Sear chicken 4–6 min per side until cooked through (165°F). Transfer to a plate.
  3. Build sauce: lower heat to medium. Add butter, sliced onion, and a pinch of salt; cook 3–4 min until softened. Add garlic; cook 30 seconds.
  4. Deglaze: add grapefruit juice + 1/2 cup broth. Simmer 3–5 minutes until slightly reduced. Taste—add 1 tsp honey/brown sugar if needed and adjust salt/pepper.
  5. Finish: return chicken to pan and spoon sauce over it for 1–2 minutes to warm through.
  6. Green beans (stove): in a second skillet (or after chicken), sauté green beans with a splash of water and pinch of salt 5–7 minutes until crisp-tender.
  7. Serve chicken with grapefruit pan sauce and green beans.

Health notes: ~600–750 calories per serving; adjust by using less butter and more broth in the sauce.

Drink pairing: Pinot Gris or unoaked Chardonnay; a citrusy wheat beer also works.
