Preparation time: 8 minutes / Cooking time: 15 minutes / Makes 4 servings

INGREDIENTS:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (about 11⁄2 pounds)
• 4 cups water
• 1⁄2 teaspoon plus
• 1⁄8 teaspoon salt
• 1 ruby red grapefruit
• 1 cup diced avocado (your MUFA)
• 4 radishes, thinly sliced
• 1⁄4 cup chopped basil leaves Fresh basil (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. In a large saucepan, combine the chicken, water, and 1⁄2 teaspoon salt. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Turn off the heat and let sit for 15 minutes, or until a thermometer inserted in the thickest portion registers 165°F.
2. Meanwhile, with a knife, remove the peel and pith from the grapefruit. Working over a bowl to catch the juice, free each segment from its membrane and cut the segments into bite-size pieces, dropping them into the bowl. Add the avocado, radishes, basil, and the remaining 1⁄8 teaspoon salt. Gently toss to mix.
3. Drain the chicken breasts, discarding the liquid. Cut crosswise into 1⁄2" slices. Divide the grapefruit mixture on 4 plates and add one piece of the chicken to each, drizzling the chicken with juice from mixture. Garnish with basil leaves, if using.
