Caesar Club Sandwich
RECIPE COURTESY OF INA GARTEN
Level: Easy
Total: 1 hr 20 min
Prep: 15 min
Cook: 1 hr 5 min
Yield: 3 servings

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 loved watching Ina’s show as a child and now my daughter watches the show with me. We think she’s fabulous!

[juliesciulla]

I could listen to you read the ingredients in lead paint. Your voice is like liquid silk. Totally calming.

[elizabeth]

I love Ina. She’s so calming and soothing to listen to, plus her food always looks amazing

[blueyedlady]

This is one of my favorite recipes ever! Been making it for years. I don't use the ciabatta though - way too hard on the roof of your mouth. I use french bread instead. So very delicious!!!

[mitchellmatthews]

I made this tonight, but subbed bacon in place of the pancetta. It was BEYOND GOOD!!!!

[markhumphrey]

5 or 6 sandwiches? I can eat that while waiting for dinner.

[noone]

When I was little I would make "crouton sandwiches" with two croutons and a little bit of roast beef x{)

[frankzito]

Looks delicious, however that ciabatta gets dangerously crunchy when toasted Beware of mouth lacerations while biting. Can ruin the entire meal.

[lucienbandet]

I gave this a thumbs up because I knew it was going to be fabulous and I wasn't wrong.

[fdemosify]

There isn’t one single recipe of Ina’s that I can honestly say has not been a hit. She’s my go to every single time!!! 🥰🥰🥰

[timwatkins]

The Food Network doesn't show enough of Ina. It has become the Guy Fieri Network.

[peapodsaunt]

I always love watching her cook. Though whenever she makes sandwiches, the bread sounds so crispy, it would be hard to chew

[mizaikowa]

i love watching this women cook... shes soo soothing xx

[katherinesmith]

I've been making caesar club wraps for years! I love using giant garlic/herb or spinach wraps and adding chicken, bacon or pancetta, spinach or romain, carsar dressing and fresh garden tomatoes! So yummy!

[pamhicks]

I have been watching Ina Garten for a long time on Food Network she is very entertaining she has a lot of class .

[jtgh]

Why am I salivating and I literally just finished lunch 5 minutes ago!😄

[MetaphisicalMandy]

Ive been watching you for years, and I swear its like you don't age. You look exactly the same as you did 15 years ago...I love your Banana Crunch Muffins BTW; They're the best!!!

[IamtheLunchlady]

I love that her meals dont look overly complicated but focus on quality ingredients. Can i afford most of these quality ingredients? Not all the time lol. But thats ok

[anndsey]

the roof of my mouth is bleeding looking at this bread

[luckyvanilla]

I love how happy she looks while making it as if she's thinking "yeah I'm gonna eat this all up right away!!"
