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.

Salt reduced chicken stock

2 cup(s), (500ml)

Juice, grapefruit

⅓ cup(s), ruby red variety (80ml)

Fennel seeds
