ITALIAN CHICKEN SORRENTINO
I bought a box of frozen breaded eggplants, then had to figure out what to do with them! Eggplant Parmigiana would have been just too easy, so I decided to do this instead. You can kick up the flavor by using provolone cheese instead of mozzarella. You can also add a slice of proscuitto between the chicken and the eggplant, if you wish. I was just trying to keep this recipe as economical as possible.

Steps:

- Add 4 tablespoons of the butter and the olive oil to a large skillet over medium-low heat. When the butter has melted, add the chicken and lightly brown on both sides, about 2 minutes per side. Remove the chicken to a plate. Increase the heat to medium, and add the eggplant slices to skillet. Brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Remove the slices to a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
- Discard the oil in skillet, and set it over medium-high heat. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons butter. When the butter is melted, pour in the white wine and bring to a boil. Adjust the heat so the wine is simmering rapidly, then lay the chicken breasts back in, in one layer. Lay a slice of ham over each chicken breast. Dollop about 2 tablespoons marinara on top of each piece of ham. Drop the remaining marinara in the spaces between the chicken breasts to make the sauce. Layer the sliced cheese on top of the sauce. Sprinkle the grated cheese over top. Bake until chicken is cooked through and cheese is browned and bubbly, about 20 to 25 minutes.
EASY CHICKEN SORRENTINO
Classic Italian dish... this is a pretty easy recipe for Chicken Sorrentino. This goes great served over Linguini or Angel Hair along with a nice salad and semolina bread. ** I use the same pan to saute' individual ingredients then set aside on paper plates while I am preparing next ingredient in saute' pan. ** Also, I use the thin boneless chicken breasts for faster saute' if you use larger, you should butterfly or pound to flatten.
