##INSTRUCTIONS## 1. Preheat grill to medium-high. Brush chicken with 2 teaspoons olive oil, season with salt and pepper and grill until cooked through. Remove from heat and cool. 2. Meanwhile, combine sorrel, pistachios and remaining oil in food processor. Pulse until chopped, then add goat cheese and pulse until blended. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Grilled chicken and goat-cheese spread can be prepared to this point, wrapped separately and refrigerated a day ahead.) 3. To assemble sandwiches, cut baguettes lengthwise and spread goat-cheese mixture inside. Cut chicken crosswise into thin strips and place in an even layer on bottom bread halves. Cover with sliced tomatoes and top with remaining bread. Cut each baguette into 3 portions and wrap in parchment paper.
