Poaching chicken in a stock with a hint of grapefruit gives a touch of sweetness throughout the fillets that cut through the rich fennel flavour. Hide grapefruit wedges throughout for little bursts of sweetness.

Ingredients

Salt reduced chicken stock

2 cup(s), (500ml)

Juice, grapefruit

⅓ cup(s), ruby red variety (80ml)

Fennel seeds

2 tsp

Skinless chicken breast

Grapefruit

2 whole, ruby red variety, peeled

Fennel

1 small, shaved, fronds reserved

Mixed salad leaves

125 g

Instructions

  1. Combine stock, grapefruit juice and fennel seeds in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low. Add chicken and simmer, covered, for 8 minutes. Remove from heat. Cool chicken in poaching liquid for 10 minutes. Remove chicken from pan. Reserve 2 tablespoons poaching liquid for the dressing. Thinly slice chicken.
  2. Meanwhile, segment peeled grapefruit over a bowl to catch juice. Reserve 2 tablespoons of juice. Place segments in a large bowl with fennel, salad leaves and sliced chicken.
