Recipe Details

Buttery miso-infused pan drippings lend a deep, indulgent richness to this vibrant medley of crisp greens, succulent grapefruit segments, and glazed chicken.

Begin by roasting boneless chicken thighs with a balanced sweet-savory glaze composed of butter, miso, mirin, and grapefruit zest. As the chicken rests (to retain juiciness), toss grapefruit segments in the reserved pan drippings—then use this flavorful mixture to dress peppery or bitter lettuces.

For a variation, substitute grapefruit with orange and adjust the sauce’s brightness by adding white wine vinegar to taste. To make the dish more substantial, roast cubed winter squash, carrots, or sweet potatoes on a sheet pan alongside the chicken, then incorporate them with the grapefruit in Step 4.
