Preparation
Step 1
Combine the chicken, water, and ½ teaspoon salt in a large saucepan. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Turn off the heat and let sit for 15 minutes, or until a thermometer inserted in the thickest portion registers 165°F.
Remove the peel and pith from the grapefruit with a knife while the chicken boils. Working over a bowl to catch the juice, free each segment from its membrane and cut the segments into bite-size pieces, dropping them into the bowl. Add the avocado, radishes, basil, and the remaining ⅛ teaspoon salt. Gently toss to mix.
Drain the chicken breasts, discarding the liquid. Cut crosswise into ½-inch slices.
Divide the grapefruit mixture onto 4 plates and add ¼ of the chicken to each, drizzling the chicken with juice from mixture. Garnish with basil leaves (optional).
