Grilled Chicken Kumquat Salad

Anyone who has a kumquat tree probably has bags full of them. Here is a kumquat dressing used with a chicken salad. The chicken has an Asian spin, but I'm sure any type of chicken would work pretty well. Salad below serves ~4. Be sure to get a couple extra kumquats for garnish :)

2 chicken breasts
2 tbsp sesame oil
2 tbsp rice vinegar
salt/pepper

Mix these ingredients in a plastic bag. Add 2 chicken breasts and marinate for an hour or more. Meanwhile...
