Boot with your Unibeast USB drive and re-install Chimera. Use Chimera as your boot loader to get to either Win7 or OS X.

No. You installed Win7 which overwrote Chimera boot record. While it is probably possible to get EasyBCD to chainload to Chimera correctly, why? Chimera works just fine to boot both OS X and Win7, has more functionality (verbose boot, safe mode, ignore caches, etc)... and is prettier.

Boot w/ your Unibeast USB to your OS X partition (like you probably did in second stage of initial install).
Then run Multibeast to re-install Chimera.

As long as when you installed Win7 you didn't fiddle with your partitions (ie. only format existing partition as NTFS, no deleting/adding, etc.), you should be able to now boot both from the HDD using Chimera boot loader.
