Chicken Ciabatta Recipe for Merienda Cena

Every Monday evenings, my grandmother invites family to come to her house to have dancing lessons. My mom is one of the willing participants. My cousins and I, usually go, but only witness everything as spectators. Yesterday, we decided to participate (well, ‘we’ was actually just my cousin, Maika). My cousin decided to share her cooking skills and recipes. She cooked Chicken Ciabatta and Puttanesca. I wanted to learn (since this is one of my goals for the year!), so I documented everything and surprisingly, it was really pretty easy to make.

I’ll be posting the recipe for Chicken Ciabatta today and the recipe for the Puttanesca this week. I hope that you all enjoy this! :)
