CAESAR CLUB SANDWICH
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Place the chicken breasts on a sheet pan skin side up. Rub the chicken with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast for 35 to 40 minutes, until cooked through. Cool slightly, discard the skin and bones, and slice the meat thickly. Set aside.
- Meanwhile, place the pancetta on another sheet pan in a single layer. Roast for 10 to 15 minutes, until crisp. Set aside to drain on paper towels.
- Place the garlic and parsley in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade and process until minced. Add the anchovy paste, mustard, lemon juice, and mayonnaise and process again to make a smooth dressing. (Refrigerate the Caesar dressing if not using it immediately.)
- Slice the ciabatta in half horizontally and separate the top from the bottom. Toast the bread in the oven, cut side up, for 5 to 7 minutes; cool slightly. Spread the cut sides of each piece with the Caesar dressing. Place half the arugula on the bottom piece of bread and then layer in order: the sun-dried tomatoes, shaved Parmesan, crispy pancetta, and sliced chicken. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and finish with another layer of arugula. Place the top slice of ciabatta on top and cut in thirds crosswise. Serve at room temperature.

TUNA CHEESE SANDWICHES
"This is my husband Kent's very favorite sandwich," says Barbara Billeter from Clovis, California, "and I often make a double batch when lots of family or friends are over." TIP: "I prepare the tuna mixture in advance and add the lettuce just before assembling the sandwiches. This gives me more time to visit with my company," suggests Barbara.

TUNA CRUNCH SANDWICHES
A tuna salad and potato chip sandwich may not be quite as classic a pairing as peanut butter and jelly, but it is, anecdotally, many middle-schoolers' first forays into experimenting with flavors and textures, and no less delicious. Beyond crunch, chips also add stability to the sandwich, holding the tuna salad in place as you eat. There's no wrong way to make the sandwich, but seasoning tuna salad with red onion and celery, plenty of olive oil and little lemon juice, and using kettle-style salt and vinegar potato chips are especially alluring. There's the word "optional" next to the most optional ingredients, but consider every ingredient other than the tuna, bread and chips to be adaptable according to your own taste (or how your mom made it).

Steps:
- Open the can of tuna, leaving the lid in place after opening it. Invert the whole can over the sink and press the lid into the tuna firmly to squeeze out as much excess water or oil as you can. (Be careful not to cut your fingers on any sharp edges). Transfer the tuna to a medium bowl.
- Wash your hands well, then grab the boiled egg and squeeze it through your fingers into the bowl with the tuna. Add the celery, olive oil, onion, herbs (if using), mayonnaise, relish (if using) and lemon juice. Using a fork, gently fold together all the ingredients, trying to leave the tuna in relatively large chunks. Grab a few chips and, using your hands, crumble them into the bowl. Season lightly with salt and pepper, and fold again to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning to taste - more salt, pepper and lemon juice if it tastes bland, and more olive oil or mayonnaise if it tastes dry.
- When ready for lunch, spread each slice of bread generously with mayonnaise. Place lettuce on each bottom slice of bread, then top each with half of the tuna salad mixture. Add a generous handful of potato chips on top of each (more than seems reasonable), then close the sandwiches. Press down firmly so the chips break and embed themselves into the tuna salad and the bread. Cut into triangles and serve with extra chips on the side.

Tips:
- Use high-quality tuna. Look for tuna that is packed in water, not oil. Oil-packed tuna will make your sandwiches greasy.
- Flake the tuna well. This will help it mix evenly with the other ingredients and make for a more enjoyable sandwich.
- Use a good quality mayonnaise. Real mayonnaise made with eggs and oil will taste much better than a low-fat or imitation mayonnaise.
- Add some Dijon mustard. Dijon mustard will give your dressing a little extra flavor and depth.
- Use fresh herbs. Fresh herbs, such as dill, chives, or parsley, will brighten up the flavor of your dressing.
- Don't be afraid to experiment. There are many different ways to make a tuna Caesar salad sandwich. Try adding different ingredients, such as avocado, bacon, or tomatoes, to find your perfect sandwich.
Conclusion:
Tuna Caesar salad sandwiches are a quick, easy, and delicious lunch option. They're perfect for a picnic, a potluck, or a simple weeknight meal. With a few simple ingredients, you can have a tasty and satisfying sandwich that the whole family will enjoy.
