Tropical Citrus Chicken

Submitted by froggerway

"I found this gem in a Winn Dixie supermarket handout. If you use a 12oz size of concentrate then you can add 2¾ C water to the remaining product to make OJ. This is great with both rice and couscous. If serving to kids you might want to substitute out some of the grapefruit for oranges or pineapples. The recipe calls for fresh fruit and the first time I made it as such. This was a long tedious process so the second time I bought a jar (Del Monte?) of tropical fruit in the produce section that had the three fruits togther. The recipe went a lot faster. Enjoy."
