Ingredients
- 9 oz. (250g) chicken breast
- 1/4 tsp. sea salt
- 1/4 tsp. black pepper
- 2 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
- 1.5 cups (220g) green beans, trimmed
- 1 grapefruit
- 1 head green lettuce
Instructions
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan over medium-high heat and fry the chicken until cooked through and browned; about 5-6 minutes on each side.
- Cook the green beans in slightly salted water until they are crisp-tender. Remove from heat, drain and rinse with cold water.
- Cut off skin of the grapefruit and divide it into segments. Do this over a bowl, so you keep all the juice for dressing.
- To serve, divide the lettuce leaves between plates, then top them with green beans, grapefruit, and chicken. Drizzle with the grapefruit juice and season with salt and pepper to serve.
