Shape and Bake the Dough
Follow directions for preparing the dough. When you are ready to bake, remove from the fridge and place on a lightly oiled work surface. Cut the dough into two pieces. Shape each into a ball and leave them covered on the counter till they come to room temperature (about 60 minutes).
Preheat the oven and a baking stone or baking steel (or a baking sheet turned upside down) to the highest temperature.
Working with one piece at a time, sprinkle some flour underneath and on top of the dough and tap it into a rectangle. Flour the backs of your hands, slide them under the dough, then lift it and begin to stretch it, letting your thumbs do the work. Continue gently stretching the dough until you have a rectangular shape about eight to 10 inches long and about five inches wide.
Open the oven and carefully slide the focaccia onto the baking stone or steel. If using a baking sheet, carefully remove it from the oven, dust with flour, gently slide the focaccia onto it, and return it to the oven. Bake five to seven minutes, until golden and puffed.
Brush the edges with olive oil and set aside. Alternatively, store at room temperature in an airtight bag or freeze (if freezing, don’t brush with oil).

Hi, do you bake it without the chicken and then put it on after? or do you bake the raw foccacia with the chicken on it??
First, bake the focaccia. If you are using Tuscanini's ready made focaccia, there is no need for that step, though. :)
