In a medium bowl, combine citrus fruit, scallions, tomatoes, remaining lime juice and olive oil, zests, salt and pepper, diced jalapeno, cilantro, tomatillos, and remaining tequila. Set aside.
Remove chicken from marinade. Cook on a hot grill for about 5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through. Remove from the grill and let stand for 5 minutes.
Place a handful of greens on each of the four plates. Slice the chicken, and arrange it on top of greens. Spoon salsa over each salad and serve immediately.
