2 large ruby red grapefruits
Peel the grapefruits, dive them into segments and remove seeds. Set segments aside.
Wash and dry breasts, then cut them crosswise into 1" strips.
Place the flour in a shallow plate and season liberally with salt and pepper. Toss the chicken in the flour.
Heat margarine in large nonstick skillet. Add the strips without crowding them and sauté over medium heat until cooked through and golden, about 5 minutes. Remove strips from the pan and drain on paper towels.
Add chopped jalapenos and shallots to the skillet and cook until soft, about 4 minutes.
Off the heat, add the rums. Bring rums to a boil and reduce it for 3 minutes. Stir in the honey and lime juice and simmer an additional 3 minutes.
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the chopped cilantro, green onions, and grapefruit segments.
Arrange the room temperature chicken strips on plates or on a platter, pour the sauce over them and serve with a fruity Chardonnay.
