Instructions
Soak dried apricots in hot water for 10 minutes. Drain and place apricots in a food processor or blender. Add remaining marinade/dressing ingredients and process until smooth. Reserve 1 cup for the dressing.
Transfer the remaining marinade to a large, sealable plastic bag. Add chicken, seal, and turn to coat. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes and up to 1 day. Discard marinade.
Oil grill and preheat to medium-high. Grill marinated chicken until it reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165ºF (6-8 minutes per side).
While chicken is cooking, combine remaining salad ingredients in a large bowl. Slice cooked chicken and add to salad. Toss with dressing to coat.
