Steps:
- Mix oil, lemon juice, 1/2 tsp. salt, the spices, garlic, and cilantro together in a medium bowl. Set aside 1/4 cup of the marinade. Add chicken to bowl, turning to coat evenly. Let chicken marinate, chilled, at least 30 minutes and up to 4 hours.
- Blend mayonnaise, red peppers, and remaining 1/2 tsp. salt in a food processor until smooth, about 1 minute. Chill until ready to use.
- Prepare grill for high heat (450° to 550°). Brush bottom halves of each roll with 1 tbsp. of reserved marinade mixture. Cook chicken, turning once, until grill marks appear and meat is cooked through, 7 to 10 minutes. Grill rolls cut side down until warmed and grill marks appear, about 2 minutes. Let both cool.
- To assemble: Set 1 chicken thigh onto bottom half of 1 roll. Spread 2 tbsp. mayo onto cut side of top half. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup arugula and set top of roll on chicken.
- Make ahead: Wrap well in plastic wrap and chill overnight. Or make through step 3, then assemble at the last minute.

CHICKEN, CHERMOULA AND VEGETABLE SANDWICH
A delicious sandwich featuring grated carrots, arugula and roasted red pepper.Chermoula, the spicy Tunisian pesto-like sauce made with copious amounts of cilantro, parsley, garlic, olive oil and spices is a great sandwich condiment. I paired it with pan-cooked chicken breast and built up a delicious sandwich with grated carrots, arugula, and roasted red pepper.

Steps:
- To cook the chicken breast, heat a heavy skillet over high heat. Season a boneless, skinless chicken breast with salt and pepper. Add about 2 teaspoons canola oil to the pan and carefully place the chicken breast in the pan, rounded side down. Turn the heat to medium. Cook 4 to 5 minutes per side (depending on the thickness; there should be no hint of pink) and remove from the heat. Allow to cool for at least 5 minutes. Slice across the grain about 1/4 to 1/3 inch thick.
- Spread chermoula on the top and bottom slices of bread or focaccia. Top with a layer of chicken slices. Top the chicken slices with grated carrot, then arugula or spinach, and finally the roasted pepper. Cover with the top slice of bread and press down. Cut in half and wrap or serve.
