Hi, I'm Leah Schaefer on behalf of Expert Village, and today, you're going to learn
how to make my chicken with Ciabatta and sausage stuffing, and a side of dressing. So now,
I'm going to go ahead and chop up the Ciabatta, which is going to be the base for the stuffing.
Now, this is about, oh, I'd say a foot long or so. I bought it sitting in the store, and
it was so warm. So it's a good thing I still have it. I wanted to bring it home and eat
it right then. But like I said, this is a rustic dish, so we're going to do pieces that
are about an inch cubed or so. Not a huge deal if they're different sizes.
Ciabatta also makes really good garlic bread. Something about the way you've got these holes.
It's almost like Swiss cheese. You've got holes and garlic and butter and oil just seeps
down into it. And you'll notice when we finish the stuffing, all the flavors of the sausage,
the garlic, the olives, everything is just going to soak into that bread. So now, we're
going to go ahead and cut it into cubes; we've cut it lengthwise. I'm just going to take
a couple pieces at a time. Lay the flat side down and you'll get about three cubes for
each piece of bread. If they start sliding around, not a big deal because it doesn't
matter if they're the same size. And I'm thinking, just looking at it, these are a little bit
big, so we're just going to cut them in half again. That's about the size, about a one
inch cube. Think of the size of a piece of cheese, the party trays that you get. So that's
about a good size. So I'm going to go ahead and do one more so you can get the point,
this piece. These are good. This one, we're going to cut in half. And then I'm going to
go ahead and finish these up, and then we'll move on to getting them mixed in to the pan
with the vegetables.
