Citrus marinated grilled chicken with grapefruit relish


Over the last few weeks we have received many grapefruits from the farm, so I searched for a citrus marinade to for our Memorial Day BBQ. I combined a few recipes but this tasted really great. Keep in mind that grapefruits are a really great antioxidant!

We made it for about 1 lb of chicken breast.
Marinade for a few hours.
Marinade:
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 Tablespoons lemon juice
2 Tablespoons grapefruit juice
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt

Grapefruit relish (to top chicken after grilling)
2 cups grapefruit sections (yes, lots of cutting and scooping)
1 small red onion (or any other type onion)
2 Tablespoons fresh chopped cilantro
1 Tablespoon honey
Ground pepper to taste

We paired the chicken with corn-on-the-cob, greens salad, pasta salad, and potato salad. The grapefruit relish was a really tasty treat with the chicken. The kids love grapefruit so they picked on both.
