Pour remaining marinade over chicken in bag. Seal bag tightly, turning to coat. Marinate in refrigerator at least 1 hour or up to 4 hours, turning occasionally.

Prepare grill for direct cooking. Drain chicken, pouring marinade into small saucepan. Bring marinade to a boil; boil 1 minute.
Place chicken on grid. Grill chicken, on covered grill, over medium coals 10 to 12 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink in center, brushing with marinade after 5 minutes and turning halfway through grilling time. Discard remaining marinade. Cool chicken slightly.
Slice warm chicken crosswise into 1/2-inch-wide strips; add chicken and croutons to lettuce mixture in bowl. Drizzle with 1/3 cup reserved marinade; toss to coat well.
