Chicken Blt On Red-Onion Focaccia

• Focaccia:
• 1 (1-pound) loaf frozen white-bread dough
• 3 1/2 teaspoons olive oil, divided
• 1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 2 tablespoons yellow cornmeal
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, divided
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• Chicken:
• 1/2 tablespoon dried basil
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
• 6 (4-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
• 1/2 teaspoon olive oil
• Mayonnaise:
• 1 (7-ounce) bottle roasted red bell peppers, drained and wiped dry with a paper towel
• 3 tablespoons light mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
• 1/2 teaspoon Asian chili-garlic sauce
• 1 garlic clove, chopped
• Remaining ingredients:
• 6 romaine lettuce leaves
• 2 large ripe tomatoes, thinly sliced (about 1 pound)
• 12 bacon slices, fried crisp and halved lengthwise

1. To prepare focaccia, thaw dough in refrigerator 12 hours.
2. Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a small nonstick skillet over medium heat; add onions. Saute 5 minutes or until soft, stirring often. Stir in oregano; set aside and cool to room temperature.
3. Combine cornmeal and 2 tablespoons flour; sprinkle cornmeal mixture over clean work surface. Turn dough out onto coated surface. Knead in 2 tablespoons onion mixture and cornmeal mixture for 6 minutes (hard kneading is necessary to soften the elastic in frozen dough); cover with a clean towel and let rest 5 minutes. Roll dough into a 9 x 13-inch rectangle; use remaining flour as needed to keep dough from sticking to work surface. Coat bottom of a 9 x 13-inch baking pan with 1/2 teaspoon oil; place dough in pan, stretching sides to cover bottom. Sprinkle remaining 1 teaspoon oil, remaining onion mixture, and salt evenly over dough. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85u0b0, 1 hour, or until doubled in size).
4. Preheat oven to 400u0b0.
5. Bake at 400u0b0 for 20 minutes or until underside of bread sounds hollow when tapped. Cool on a rack to room temperature. Cut focaccia in half lengthwise; cut each half into three equal pieces (you should have 6 pieces). Cut each piece in half horizontally.
6. To prepare chicken, combine basil, salt, and pepper; sprinkle evenly over chicken. Heat 1/2 teaspoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; add chicken. Cook 4 to 6 minutes per side or until thoroughly cooked; cool completely. Cut chicken into thin diagonal strips.
7. To prepare mayonnaise, combine roasted peppers and next 4 ingredients (through garlic) in a blender; blend until smooth.
8. To prepare sandwich, spread 1 tablespoon mayonnaise on bottom half of each focaccia piece. Divide lettuce leaves, tomato slices, chicken, and bacon evenly among sandwich bottoms. Cover with top half of focaccia.
