Ingredients
- 2 split (1 whole) chicken breasts, bone in, skin on
- Good olive oil
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 4 ounces thinly sliced pancetta
- 1 large garlic clove, chopped
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 1 1/2 teaspoons anchovy paste
- 1 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 1/2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1/2 cup good mayonnaise
- 1 large ciabatta bread
- 2 ounces baby arugula, washed and spun dry
- 12 sun-dried tomatoes, in oil
- 2 to 3 ounces Parmesan, shaved
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Place the chicken breasts on a sheet pan skin side up. Rub the chicken with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast for 35 to 40 minutes, until cooked through. Cool slightly, discard the skin and bones, and slice the meat thickly. Set aside.
Meanwhile, place the pancetta on another sheet pan in a single layer. Roast for 10 to 15 minutes, until crisp. Set aside to drain on paper towels.
Place the garlic and parsley in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade and process until minced. Add the anchovy paste, mustard, lemon juice, and mayonnaise and process again to make a smooth dressing. (Refrigerate the Caesar dressing if not using it immediately.)
Slice the ciabatta in half horizontally and separate the top from the bottom. Toast the bread in the oven, cut side up, for 5 to 7 minutes; cool slightly. Spread the cut sides of each piece with the Caesar dressing. Place half the arugula on the bottom piece of bread and then layer in order: the sun-dried tomatoes, shaved Parmesan, crispy pancetta, and sliced chicken. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and finish with another layer of arugula. Place the top slice of ciabatta on top and cut in thirds crosswise. Serve at room temperature.

I only made the dressing for a salad (added grated parm but it was fantastic! Fresh parsley from our garden didn't hurt! my husband calls it "our" salad now.

This sandwich was delicious! I made Ina's roasted chicken breast stuffed with the herb goat cheese (which is also delicious and added a few chicken breasts to cook at the same time. Next day I reheated the extra chicken and assembled the sandwich. I will definitely make this sandwich again.

This is a masterpiece sandwich, the sauce is the thing that takes it over the top. I followed the suggestions of other reviewers. I marinated the chicken in an Italian dressing for a few hours and I chopped the sundried tomatoes into small pieces. My family loved it. I will make this again for sure. I was hesitant to use the anchovy paste but I tried it and the sauce was excellent. I made the sauce in the morning and the flavors tasted even better later in the day when I served it. Well worth the effort. (Note:the anchovy paste is located where they sell the canned sardines, ect. I was looking where they sell fresh seafood in the store.
