Cook time:
30 minutes
Servings:

Ingredients

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup expired frozen grapefruit juice concentrate
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce

  3. In an oven-safe skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then sear them in the skillet for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned.
