Provencal Chicken Breast Sandwich on Baguette

Ingredients:

For the sandwich:

• 3 Pasture Project Eureka Lemon and Herb chicken breasts
• 1 baguette, cut in half lengthwise
• Olive oil, for drizzling
• Roasted garlic aioli (see recipe below)
• Arugula
• Sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained and sliced
• 6 slices thick-cut bacon, cooked until crisp but still meaty

For the roasted garlic aioli:

• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 4-5 whole roasted garlic cloves (from a jar of whole roasted garlic)
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions:

1. Preheat the broiler in your oven.
2. Place the baguette halves, cut side up, on a baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil over the cut sides of the baguette.
3. Place the baguette under the broiler for a few minutes until lightly toasted. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning. Remove from the broiler and set aside.
4. Cook the Pasture Project Eureka Lemon and Herb chicken breasts according to the instructions on the package. Once cooked, remove from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes. Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips.
5. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, roasted garlic cloves, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mash the roasted garlic cloves with a fork and mix everything together until well combined. This is your roasted garlic aioli.
6. Spread a generous amount of the roasted garlic aioli on both cut sides of the toasted baguette.
7. Place the thick-cut bacon slices on a baking sheet and cook them until crisp but still meaty. This can be done in a preheated 450°F (230°C) oven for about 10-12 minutes, or on a stovetop skillet over medium heat for about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove from the heat and let the bacon cool slightly.
8. Layer the sliced chicken breasts on the bottom half of the baguette.
9. Top the chicken with a handful of arugula and sliced sun-dried tomatoes.
10. Lay the cooked bacon slices on top of the tomatoes.
11. Place the top half of the baguette on the sandwich.
12. Slice the sandwich into individual portions, if desired, and serve the Chicken Breast Sandwich on Baguette immediately. Enjoy!

With the baguette drizzled with olive oil and toasted under the broiler, the roasted garlic aioli, flavorful chicken, fresh arugula, sun-dried tomatoes, and crispy yet meaty bacon, this sandwich will provide a satisfying combination of flavors and textures.
