1
Prepare the Chicken
Season the cajun chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Grill or pan-sear them over medium heat for about 6-7 minutes per side, until cooked through. Allow to rest for a few minutes before slicing.
2
Prepare the Baguette
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice the baguette in half lengthwise and brush the inside with garlic oil. Place in the oven for about 5-7 minutes, until lightly toasted.
3
Assemble the Sandwich
Spread a generous layer of housemade pesto on both halves of the toasted baguette. Layer with sliced heirloom tomatoes, sliced mozzarella cheese, sliced cajun chicken, and a handful of arugula.
4
Finish and Serve
Close the baguette, press gently, and cut into portions. Serve immediately while warm.
