Directions:
Mix first 9 ingredients in a large bowl, whisk in olive oil slowly and add next 5 ingredients. Reserve 1/2 the marinade: set aside. Place chicken breasts in other half of marinade and refrigerate at least 1 hour (Can refrigerate overnight). Heat grill. Remove chicken from marinade and grill 4-5 minutes per side, basting carefully with marinade. Fire will flare up, searing in flavors, but don't allow chicken to char. Serve as is on plate or cut chicken into small pieces and arrange on lettuce, garnished with raw carrots and tomato wedges. Heat reserved marinade until bubbly and pour atop salad. If not serving as a salad, pour remaining marinade over chicken.
