- For the Aioli: Place all the ingredients, except the salt and pepper, in the bowl of a food processor. Blend until the mixture is smooth. Transfer the aioli to a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
- For the Sandwich: Add the shredded chicken to the aioli and mix well. Preheat a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat. Using tongs, add the tortillas, 1 at a time, and cook until warm, about 30 seconds each side. Place the warm tortillas on a work surface and spread with the chicken mixture, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Sprinkle the arugula over the chicken mixture. Carefully roll up the tortillas, jelly-roll fashion. Cut each rolled sandwich in half, diagonally, and transfer to a serving platter. Serve.

ROASTED RED PEPPER, BABY ARUGULA, & GOAT CHEESE SANDWICHES WITH OPTIONAL BACON
Inspired by a BLT, but not really a BLT at all. Chewy ciabatta bread is loaded with gorgeous roasted red peppers, zippy arugula, creamy goat cheese, a little olive oil and black pepper, and bacon - if you choose.

Steps:
- Slice the ciabatta bread in half lengthwise and then cut about a five-inch hunk of bread for each sandwich. Lay sandwich inside-up and begin layering.
- First, add a couple of layers of the roasted red peppers. Sprinkle lightly with kosher salt. I add a little more salt for the veggie sandwich, and just a tad for the carnivore's sandwich because it will have the natural saltiness of bacon, too. Pile a handful of arugula onto each sandwich, then crumble the goat cheese onto the arugula, dividing evenly between the two sandwiches. Lay the bacon on top, if using. Drizzle a teaspoon or so of the olive oil from the roasted red peppers onto the top of the whole thing and lightly dust with black pepper.
- Close up those sandwiches, slice in half, and serve!

Yield Makes 8 servings
Number Of Ingredients 8
Steps:
- Heat oil in very large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add all peppers; sauté until slightly softened, stirring occasionally, about 7 minutes. Add raisins and fennel seeds. Continue to cook until peppers are soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in vinegar. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.) Add 8 cups arugula to peppers and stir until arugula begins to wilt, about 1 minute. Transfer mixture to large platter; garnish with additional arugula and serve.
Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the sandwiches will taste. Use ripe chicken, arugula, red bell pepper, and avocado.
- Cook the chicken properly: The chicken should be cooked through but not overcooked. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
- Use a good quality bread: The bread should be sturdy enough to hold the sandwich together, but not too thick or chewy. A baguette or ciabatta roll are good options.
- Don't be afraid to experiment: There are many different ways to make chicken arugula and red bell pepper sandwiches. Try adding different cheeses, spreads, or vegetables.
