- In a large bowl, mix together the grapefruit juice, honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, and grated ginger. This will be your marinade.
- Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper, then place them in the marinade. Let them soak up all those flavors for at least 30 minutes, or longer if you can wait!
- Heat some olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken pieces, reserving the marinade for later.
- Cook the chicken until it’s golden brown and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes on each side depending on the size of the pieces.
- Once cooked, remove the chicken and set aside. In the same skillet, pour in the reserved marinade and bring it to a boil. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes until it thickens slightly.
