Chicken Caeser Sandwich

I absolutely love this sandwich from Barefoot Contessa. I like most of the stuff I've tried from her and I especially like her cookbooks.

2 chicken breasts
Olive oil
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
4 oz. thinly sliced pancetta
1 large garlic clove, chopped
2 Tbsp. chopped fresh flat leaf parsley
1 tsp. anchovy paste
1 tsp. Dijon mustard
1 ½ Tbsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice
½ c. mayonnaise
1 large ciabatta bread
2 oz. spring mix salad
12 sun-dried tomatoes
2-3 oz. shaved parmesan

Drizzle chicken with olive oil and then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill or roast chicken. Cool slightly and slice on an angle. Set aside. Place pancetta on a sheet pan in a single layer. Roast for 10-15 min. set on paper towels to drain. Place garlic and parsley in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade and process until minced. Add anchovy paste, mustard, lemon juice and mayonnaise and process again to make a smooth dressing. Slice ciabatta in half horizontally and separate. Toast in oven 5-7 minutes. Spread each piece with Caesar dressing. Place half spring mix on the bottom piece and then layer in order: sun dried tomatoes, shaved parmesan, pancetta and chicken. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and finish with another layer of spring mix. Place top slice on and cut in thirds.
