4 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 pound baby field mixed greens
Velvety Gazpacho Dressing (recipe follows)
Fire Roasted Tomato Chipotle salsa (recipe follows)

1. Gently pound chicken breasts to even thickness. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place on prepared charcoal grill and cook about 5 minutes on each side. Remove chicken from grill and keep warm.
