Serves: 4
Total Calories: 256

Ingredients

FOR THE PESTO:
1 clove garlic (small), crushed
1 cup loosely packed fresh basil leaves
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons coarsely chopped sun-dried tomatoes (oil-packed)
1 tablespoon pine nuts
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (Parmigiano-Reggiano)

FOR THE RUB:
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

2 boneless skinless chicken breast halves, , about 6 ounces each
extra-virgin olive oil

1 baguette French bread
2 to 3 ounces fresh goat cheese
2 cups , lightly packed trimmed arugula
1/2 thinly sliced red onion

Directions:

TO MAKE THE PESTO: In a food processor with the motor running, drop in the garlic clove and process. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and add the basil, olive oil, sun-dried tomatoes, pine nuts, and pepper and process to form a loose paste. Transfer to a small bowl. Stir in the cheese and set aside. (Pesto can be refrigerated, covered, for as long as 24 hours. Bring to room temperature before serving.)

TO MAKE THE RUB: In a small bowl mix together the rub ingredients. Spread the rub over both sides of the chicken breasts. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours.

Wipe most of the rub off the breasts with paper towels. Lightly brush or spray with olive oil. Grill over Direct Medium heat until the meat is firm and the juices run clear, 8 to 12 minutes, turning once halfway through grilling time. Remove from the grill. Slice on the bias into 1/2-inch strips.

Cut the baguette lengthwise down the middle. Spread one half of the baguette with the pesto and the other half with the goat cheese, and layer the chicken, arugula, and red onion in between. Cut the baguette into four equal sections. Serve at room temperature.
