Prep the veggies and chicken

- Season with salt and place the chicken fillets in a pan and into the oven for 15-20 minutes until cooked. Remove, let stand for 5 minutes and cut intro strips. Set aside for assembly.
- Boil a pot of water. Soak the rice vermicelli in water for 2-3 minutes and then drain them. Set aside.
- Meanwhile peel and cut the Florida Grapefruit into segments. Keep the Florida Grapefruit juice aside for the sauce.
Prep the rolls
- Get a deep dish, fill it with lukewarm water. Place rice paper sheets into the dish and let sit until the paper is soft (don’t wait to long or the paper will tear). Remove from water and then place it on a clean tea towel. Repeat process for 12 sheets.
- Once the rice paper is on the tea towel, sprinkle with sesame seeds (optional) then place a little of each ingredient in the center of the sheet.
- Wrap the bottom side first towards the center, then fold the two left and right sides to the center. Finish rolling by tightening to the top of the rice paper.
Prep the sauce
