Ingredients

• 500 grams Boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 1 large Fresh grapefruit
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger
• 2 medium Garlic cloves
• 1 large Red bell pepper
• 150 grams Snow peas
• 2 stalks Green onions
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Slice the chicken breast into thin, bite-sized strips. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.

Step 2

Peel and segment the grapefruit, ensuring to remove any seeds and membranes. Reserve any juices in a small bowl for the sauce.

Step 3

In a small mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, grapefruit juice (about 2 tablespoons), and cornstarch mixed with water. Mix well and set the sauce aside.

Step 4

Finely mince the garlic cloves and grate the fresh ginger. Slice the red bell pepper into thin strips and trim the ends off the snow peas. Chop the green onions into small pieces.

Step 5

Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add vegetable oil and sesame oil.

Step 6

Add the chicken strips to the hot pan and cook for 4–5 minutes until lightly browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken and set aside.

Step 7

In the same pan, add the garlic, ginger, and red bell pepper. Stir fry for 2–3 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.

Step 8

Add the snow peas and stir fry for another 2 minutes.

Step 9

Return the chicken to the pan. Pour the sauce over the mixture and stir well to coat all the ingredients. Cook for 2–3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 10

Remove from heat and gently fold in the grapefruit segments. Top with chopped green onions.

Step 11

Serve immediately over steamed rice or noodles, if desired.
