Ingredients
  

  • 2 large chicken breast, boneless, skinless, cut in half length-wise to create cutlets
  • 1 cup Kraft Sun-dried tomato dressing
  • 8 slices Bacon, cooked crispy
  • 2 8-10 inches Baguettes, sliced in half length-wise
  • 16 slices Provolone cheese
  • 8 tbsp Pesto, prepared
  • ½ cup Caesar salad dressing
  • 1 large Tomato, thinly sliced
  • 3 cups romaine lettuce, shredded

Instructions
 

  • For the chicken: In a large zip-lock bag, place chicken cutlets and one cup of Italian dressing. Place in the refrigerator and marinate it for at least 1 hour.
  • In a large skillet, over medium-high heat, cook chicken 5 minutes per side, until juice runs clear. (Chicken can be grilled on the BBQ if preferred.) Remove from heat and set aside while you assemble the sandwich.
  • Preheat the oven to 400°(F). Spread pesto sauce on the inside of each sliced baguette. Place the baguettes pesto side down on a large baking sheet. Place in the oven and bake until the top is slightly crispy and golden, about 3–5 minutes. Using tongs, flip the baguettes over and toast the inside of each half of the roll until the edges are lightly toasted and golden brown.
  • Spread each half of the toasted baguettes with a tablespoon of Caesar dressing.
  • Remove the baguettes from the oven. Keep them on the baking sheet. Carefully place two cutlets on the bottom half of each baguette. Fold each slice of provolone cheese in half and place 4 slices on top of the chicken cutlets and 4 more slices on top of the pesto inside each top.
  • Pop the baguettes back into the oven and bake for 3 minutes until the cheese is melted. Carefully remove from the oven. Place 3–4 slices of bacon on top of the chicken and cheese. On the other half, place 3 slices of tomatoes, sprinkle with black pepper. In a small bowl, add the shredded lettuce with the remaining Caesar dressing. Toss the lettuce with the dressing. Divide the salad in half. Place half of the Caesar salad on top of the tomatoes in each sandwich. Bring both halves together. Cut the baguette into individual sandwich servings.
