How to Make Grilled Chicken Breasts With Grapefruit Glaze

  1. Light the grill to medium-high heat.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tablespoon grapefruit zest, ¼ cup grapefruit juice, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons honey, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper. Divide the glaze in half; set aside one half for basting and one half for later reduction.
  3. Place chicken breasts on the preheated grill. Grill for 8 minutes, basting frequently with half of the glaze.
  4. Flip the chicken breasts and continue grilling for 10-12 minutes, basting frequently with the remaining glaze, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  5. Remove the chicken from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes.
  6. In a small saucepan, bring the reserved glaze to a boil over medium heat.
  7. Boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat.
  8. Pour the reduced glaze over the rested chicken breasts and serve immediately.
