friederike from Berlin,
Very, very nice! As often the case with chicken, ours wasn't done when it was meant to be done, so we had to put it back in the oven for another 10-12 minutes. I'm normally not a fan of grapefruits, but in this salad I found they were actually quite nice! DH thought that using rocket salad only was possibly a bit boring; we might consider mixing it with another, similarly peppery salad next time - perhaps watercress?
Also, seconding QueezleSister that you can probably get by with half the amount of sauce, and that it's a bit of a pity of the maple syrup. This is actually the second time I made this; the first time I used a very cheap, maple-flavoured carob syrup which I was quite happy to get rid of, but that lack of quality didn't seem to have any effect on how good the sauce was. (Disclaimer: even the second time I only used a maple-flavoured syrup, but one that tastes relatively authentic to me. But then again, I'm not Canadian, so what would I know? :) ).
I could also see this as a very fancy appetizer or side dish, if you use only half the amount of meat.
