Sauté in the shallots in the olive, add the orange
juice, grapefruit juice, lime juice and honey and simmer for
5 minutes. Thicken with cornstarch and season with cinnamon.
Add the diced orange and grapefruit, reserve warm.
Sauté the red onion in the olive oil on high until

of the plate, top with the chicken breast and sauce the top.
