- Cut both bread loaves horizontally in half. Pull out and throw away soft interior crumbs from top halves, leaving 1/2-inch-thick shell; drizzle 1/4 c. dressing over inside of each top. Drizzle 1/4 c. dressing over inside of each bottom half; sprinkle 2 Tbsp. capers in each. Divide chicken, tomatoes, onion, and lettuce between sandwiches. Cover with tops, pressing to compact.
- Wrap sandwiches in foil, then place heavy skillet or possibly food cans on top to weigh down. Chill at least 2 hrs. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Keep refrigerated. Let stand at room temperature 1 hour before serving.)
- Cut each sandwich into quarters and serve cool or possibly at room temperature.

- Comments: A Provencal specialty, pan bagnat is literally a sandwich with "bathed bread" - which is, the loaf of bread is split and drizzled with extra virgin olive oil and/or possibly a vinaigrette before being filled with other ingredients. In this version, grilled chicken stands in for the traditional tuna. Begin these sandwiches at least four hrs and up to one day before serving. Get the picnic started with a selection of cheeses, salami, and crackers.
- What to drink: A light red, slightly chilled, such as a Beaujolais or possibly Bandol Rose.
