- 4 large carrots, finely julienned
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 3 tablespoons cider vinegar
- salt & freshly ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons canola oil, divided
- 1 lb beet, peeled and finely julienned
- 1⁄2 small red onion, cut into slivers
- 1⁄4 cup water
- 1⁄2 cup mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoons prepared horseradish, drained and squeezed dry
- 1 1⁄2 lbs chicken breasts, skinless, boneless, pounded to 1/4 inch thickness
- 2 French baguettes

directions
- In a large skillet, cook the carrots with the sugar and 2 tablespoons of the vinegar over moderate heat, tossing, until barely softened, 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Spread on a plate and refrigerate until chilled.
- Wipe out skillet and heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in it. Add the beets and onion and cook over moderate heat for 1 minute. Add the remaining vinegar and 1/4 cup of water, cover and cook until the beets are crisp-tender and dry, 5 minutes. Spread the beets and onion on a plate, season with salt and pepper and refrigerate until chilled.
- Preheat the oven to 350°. Light a grill. In a bowl, whisk the mayonnaise and horseradish. Brush the chicken with the remaining oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill over high heat, turning once, until lightly charred, 5 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let cool slightly. Cut crosswise into strips.
- Toast the baguettes in the oven for 5 minutes, until crusty. Split and cut each baguette into 4 lengths. Spread the mayonnaise on the bread and top with the beets and onion. Top with the chicken, carrots and lettuce. Close the sandwiches and serve.

<p>my mother was always a phenomenal cook .. but never let me on to her secrets. <br />upon her passing at my age of 24, i was left to figure out her magic on my own. <br />between recipezaar and foodnetwork, i'm getting the hang of it ... very thankfully. <br /> <br />while i like to bake very much [as it's what i'm best at] .. i most enjoy trying anything new and different. <br />i'll eat anything .. ANYTHING .. so long as it tastes and smells delicious.</p>
