Blacken the red bell peppers under the broiler, turning until all sides are completed. Remove from oven and place in a plastic bag. Close bag until peppers cool. Remove from bag and gently slide off the blackened peel from the red peppers, removing seeds as well. Slice into 1 inch strips.

To assemble the baguette sandwich: spread some of the dressing on each side of the french bread. Then layer chicken and roasted peppers. Add a layer of the greens and top with baguette top. Wrap in a plastic wrap or foil and chill until time to eat.
