Preheat grill on high. In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil and the garlic.
Add chicken breasts and rub the olive oil mixture into the meat using your hands, coating all sides of the breasts. Sprinkle both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper.
Place chicken on the preheated grill. Turn heat to low and close the lid to the grill. Allow to cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the first side of the chicken is slightly brown. Using tongs, turn the chicken breasts. Cook for an additional 5-8 minutes or until chicken is completely cooked through.
Remove chicken from grill and set aside. While chicken is cooling, prepare the dressing.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil and mayonnaise. Stream in the vinegar while vigorously whisking. Whisk in garlic and sweetener.
Cut grilled chicken into 1 inch cubes. Add chicken cubes, green onions, tomatoes, olives, and basil to the dressing. Toss to coat.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Cover and refrigerate until it's time to serve.
