From midgelet 15 years ago

This tasty chicken salad uses Texas ruby red "sweet" grapefruit in it- delciously different with complex flavors.

1 cup chicken broth shopping list
2 large chicken breast halves, skinned and boned shopping list
2 cups uncooked rotelle pasta shopping list
1/2 teaspoon salt shopping list
1 package frozen peas, cooked according to package directions, drained shopping list
1/2 cup diced pimiento shopping list
2 cups Texas Ruby red grapefruit sections, drained (reserve 1/3 cup juice) shopping list
2 tablespoons olive oil shopping list
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar shopping list
1 large garlic clove, crushed or put through a garlic press shopping list
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin (rounded 1/4 teaspoon) shopping list
1/4 teaspoon salt shopping list
1/8 teaspoon white pepper shopping list

In a medium saucepan, bring broth to a boil.
Arrange chicken breasts in single layer in pan, and return broth to boiling.
Cover and cook about 15 minutes, until chicken is cooked through.
Drain and cool.
Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces.
Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to package directions, with 1/2 teaspoon salt.
Drain and keep warm.
In a large bowl, combine the chicken, cooked pasta, cooked peas, pimiento, grapefruit sections and reserved grapefruit juice.
In a small bowl or jar, combine the oil, vinegar, garlic, cumin, salt and pepper.
Mix well.
Pour dressing over chicken mixture, and toss lightly.
May be served cold, but immediate serving is better.
Makes 4 generous servings.
Note:I remove as much of the membrane around the grapefruit sections as Iyou can.
This is a little bit tedious, but makes for a juicier, tastier result.
