In a large bowl whisk the oil, vinegar, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts to the bowl and turn to coat all sides thoroughly. Cover and let stand at room temperature while you make the sauce.
In a medium bowl combine the sauce ingredients. Set aside.
Brush the cooking grates clean. Grill the chicken, smooth (skin) side down first, over direct medium-high heat, with the lid closed, until no longer pink, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn the chicken over and grill just to sear the surface, about 1 minute more. Remove from the grill and serve the chicken warm with the sauce, raisins, almonds, and dark scallion greens.
