Making Chapatti & Sausage Stuffing

Video Transcript

"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 you'll see that we've switched from our cast iron skillet to this bigger pan. This is going to give us room for all the bread. Once the bread starts to cook down, we'll go back to the cast iron skillet and we'll make the sauce in it. So we're going to put it on medium to medium-high, and we're going to drop in about two tablespoons or so of butter. I am not opposed at all to cooking with butter. I think the more butter, the better. I actually think butter is better for you than margarine. We're also going to drop in some olive oil. Now, the butter's going to give us great heat. The olive oil and butter are going to mix together and give us a great flavor. So we're just going to swirl it around and we're going to get it melted so that we can add all the bread so most of the butter is melted in the bottom of the pan. We're just going to take that very last bit of a pat and wipe it around the edges. Don't worry, my hands are clean. Okay. We're just going to slide it around. Since there's so much bread that we have to cook down, you want to make sure all of the pan is coated, including the sides, so that nothing's sticking. We're going to go ahead and add the bread. We're going to leave it on the medium to medium-high. Now, this is going to make almost like croutons. Remember I talked about the holes in the Ciabatta soaking everything up, so it's going to soak up all this good oil and butter. I'm just going to give it a little bit of a toss with the tongs so that we make sure every piece gets a good amount of butter and oil. And you'll see some of the pieces towards the bottom are already starting to get a really pretty color. They're starting to look like a crouton, right there. Now, if that bread soaks up all the butter and the oil and you see some pieces that are still lacking, a really easy fix for that, just take some more oil and drizzle it over top. Don't worry about amounts here. Just make sure all the bread gets coated. So I'm going to go ahead and finish toasting this up, and then I'm going to add some liquid to it to bulk it up and really give it that stuffing consistency."
