Layered Ontario Peach and Chicken Ciabatta Loaf

Adding peaches to a sandwich creates a sweet, moist and fat-free layer. In place of layering, mix the ingredients for a salad-style filling. Ciabatta is an Italian bread with a soft interior and a crisp, thin crust; its name means “slipper” in Italian, referring to the loaf’s shape.
