It's basically a chicken gyro on a bed of lettuce, baby kale and basil, but with the addition of Caesar dressing (but not the scary kind!). I even made fresh pitas, for you know, scooping and such.

In a medium size bowl or glass measuring cup combine the lemon juice, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, smoked paprika, dill, oregano, garlic, salt and pepper. Add the chicken to a gallon size ziplock bag and pour the marinade over the chicken, toss well, making sure the chicken is completely coated in the seasonings. Place in the fridge for at least 1 hour or overnight.
Meanwhile, make the dressing (this is also when I make the fries and boil my eggs). Add all the ingredients for the dressing to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasonings.
When ready to cook the chicken, preheat the grill or a grill pan to high heat. Grill the chicken for about 4-5 minutes per side or until cooked through. Remove from the heat and allow to rest while you prepare the salad.
In a large bowl, toss together the lettuce, baby kale and basil. Add a little dressing and massage it into the salad. Add the tomatoes and olives. Divide the salad among plates or bowls. Slice the chicken and place on the salad. Add the fries, eggs, pine nuts and feta cheese.
