Chicken Mediterranean Plate

I recently checked out the new Chicago Loop lunch spot Roti. The style reminds me a lot of Chipotle. You pick your base--sandwich, salad, or Mediterranean plate--and then pick everything that goes in it from plenty of delicious options. I'd highly recommend Roti's falafel. This experience got me thinking about making my own Mediterranean plate at home. The chicken can easily be removed from this dish to make a vegetarian plate.
