The question that you can ask to check this is "What did Anna eat?" or "What did Anna eat for lunch?" |

Paring it down to the minimum, it's "sandwich", because "her", "cold", and "chicken" are all being used as adjectives. And "for lunch" is a prepositional phrase also being used as an adjective modifying "sandwich". In this phrase, "lunch" is the object of the preposition; it is not the object of the sentence. |
