Ingredients
- 2 8-ounce boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tbsp. plus 1/2 teaspoon olive oil, divided
- Kosher salt and pepper
- 1 lemon, halved
- 1 baguette, halved crosswise and split open (leaving hinge intact)
- 1 small clove garlic
- 1 tbsp. mayonnaise
- 2 tsp. Dijon mustard
- 2 tsp. anchovy paste
- 4 oz. romaine heart, leaves separated
- 2 ribs celery, very thinly sliced
- 1 oz. Parmesan cheese, grated (1/4 cup)
- 2 Roma tomatoes, sliced
Instructions
- Heat grill to medium.
- Rub chicken with 1/2 teaspoon olive oil and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Grill until instant-read thermometer registers 165°F, 8 to 10 minutes per side. Transfer to cutting board and let rest 10 minutes before slicing.
- While chicken is grilling, grill lemon halves and baguette, cut sides down, until charred, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to cutting board. Rub cut side of baguette with garlic clove.
- Squeeze 2 tablespoons juice from grilled lemon halves into small bowl and whisk in mayonnaise, Dijon, and anchovy paste, then gradually whisk in remaining 2 tablespoons oil until thoroughly incorporated.
- In large bowl, toss romaine and celery with 1/4 cup dressing and 1/4 teaspoon pepper to coat, then toss with Parmesan and another 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
- Drizzle remaining dressing on baguette and layer with sliced chicken, salad, and tomatoes. Cut each in half to make 4 sandwiches.
