2 8-ounce boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Kosher salt and pepper

1 lemon, halved

1 baguette, halved crosswise and split open (leaving hinge intact)

1 small clove garlic

1 tbsp. mayonnaise

Upute

Heat grill to medium.

Rub chicken with 1/2 teaspoon olive oil and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Grill until instant-read thermometer registers 165°F, 8 to 10 minutes per side. Transfer to cutting board and let rest 10 minutes before slicing.

While chicken is grilling, grill lemon halves and baguette, cut sides down, until charred, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to cutting board. Rub cut side of baguette with garlic clove.

Squeeze 2 tablespoons juice from grilled lemon halves into small bowl and whisk in mayonnaise, Dijon, and anchovy paste, then gradually whisk in remaining 2 tablespoons oil until thoroughly incorporated.

In large bowl, toss romaine and celery with 1/4 cup dressing and 1/4 teaspoon pepper to coat, then toss with Parmesan and another 1/4 teaspoon pepper.

Drizzle remaining dressing on baguette and layer with sliced chicken, salad, and tomatoes. Cut each in half to make 4 sandwiches.
