What to do with Grapefruit & Chicken???

Arkhos

So I'm gonna be on a new meal plan. Looking for any suggestions on how to eat Grapefruit... is there a recipe for cooking it with protein (chicken, turkey, lean beef, etc.)??? Or should I just keep it seperate? I imagine it would override any protein flavors. Add splenda to the Grapefruit??

A meal will consist of:

6oz Lean Protein
1 Grapefruit
1 cup Dark Green Veggie (Spinach most likely since I don't like much else) :laugh:

I'm not a big meat and fruit mixer, but I'm sure there's lots of chicken/grapefruit recipes out there. I love both, just can't put them together.

It took me awhile to get used to grapefruit. More bitter than oranges. I eat it alone with no sweetener and it is so yummy now. I on't care for oranges but I like the bitterness of the grapefruit. I read a study that said if you eat 1/2 a grapefruit with every meal it would help you lose 0.5lbs a week or you can also drink 100% grapefruit juice but beware of added sweetener.

Chicken definitely benefits from being marinated in citrus juice, so I think that would be a good start. Also, grilling fruit gives it a new flavor and texture profile so maybe try splitting your grapefruit in half, using the juice from one side to marinate, and just plop the other side face down on the grill for a few minutes.

I went to this amazing restaurant once, and the appetizer was broiled grapefruit. I wasn't sure if I would like it, but I had to try it (it was one of those places that they had one meal per night...not ordering differently). It was awesome!!!

Grill the chicken. Slice it up and place it on a bed of raw spinach with the grapefruit segments.

Because the chicken is lean protein and the grapefruit will flush the fat right?
