This Open-Faced Chicken, Apple & Arugula Sandwich layers smoky grilled chicken with crisp honey-drizzled apples on charred ACE Bakery® Pane Rustico for a rustic base. Peppery arugula and juicy cherry tomatoes add brightness, while crumbled bacon and tangy Gorgonzola bring rich, savory depth. Finished with a drizzle of balsamic and a hint of lemon zest, it’s a colorful, flavor-packed bite that feels both wholesome and indulgent — ideal for alfresco lunches or anytime you want a sandwich that’s as beautiful as it is delicious.
