Ingredients
  

  • 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2.5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil divided
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Kosher salt
  • ground black pepper
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 baguette baguette halved crosswise and split open (leaving hinge intact)
  • 1 piece lemon halved
  • 0.5 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 teaspoons anchovy paste
  • 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese grated
  • 4 ounces romaine heart chopped
  • 2 ribs celery finely chopped
  • 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese grated
  • 2 Roma tomatoes Roma tomatoes sliced
  • 0.25 cup shaved Parmesan cheese

Equipment

  • Wooden Spoon
  • Grater
  • Frying Pan
  • Chef's Knife
  • Whisk

Method
 

  1. Heat grill to medium. Or you can use a grill pan and make this on the stove.
  2. Rub chicken with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon each salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and dried oregano.
  3. Grill until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the chicken shows 165°F, about 8 to 10 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
  4. Grill the lemon halves and the baguette, cut sides down, until nicely charred, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  5. Transfer the baguette to a cutting board and rub it with garlic cloves.
  6. Squeeze about 2 tablespoons of the lemon juice from the grilled lemon halves into a small bowl and whisk in with the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and anchovy paste. Gradually whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil until combined, and stir in 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese.
  7. In a large bowl, toss chopped romaine and celery with 1/4 cup dressing and the remaining 1/4 cup of Parmesan.
  8. Drizzle the remaining dressing on the baguette, layer with sliced grilled chicken, celery salad, and sliced tomatoes, and sprinkle with shaved Parmesan cheese. Cut each in half to make four sandwiches. Serve.
