Time 1h15m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 Japanese eggplants
1 tablespoon salt
2 tablespoons oil
3 chicken breasts
2 tablespoons mixed Italian herbs, seasoning mix
2 cups prepared pasta sauce (bottled or homemade)
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
1 cup mozzarella cheese
1/3 cup parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Slice the eggplants in half longways - sprinkle the surface with salt. Allow to stand for 30 minutes, rinse and pat dry.
  • Brush/spray a baking tray with a little oil. Place the eggplants on a single layer and bake at 200oC for 7-10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, slice the chicken through the middle length ways (so you have 6 half fillets). Coat the chicken with seasoning.
  • Place the chicken on top of the hot eggplant.
  • Mix the garlic with the pasta sauce (or leave out if it already has enough for your personal taste).
  • Pour sauce over the chicken and cover with the cheeses.
  • Bake for 45-50 minutes (until the chicken is cooked through).
  • Serve with salad and crusty bread.

I would not recommend this recipe. It was a waste of time and ingredients.

I thought this dish was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

This dish was way too cheesy for my taste. I would use less Parmesan cheese next time.

The eggplant was a little too soft for my liking. I would cook it for a shorter amount of time next time.

I found that the chicken was a little dry. I think I would use boneless, skinless chicken breasts next time.

This dish was a little too bland for my taste. I added some extra spices and it was much better.

I used zucchini instead of eggplant and it was still delicious. This is a versatile recipe that can be easily adapted to your own preferences.

I added some chopped spinach to this dish for an extra boost of nutrients. It turned out great!

This is a great recipe for using up leftover chicken. I had some roasted chicken from the night before and it worked perfectly in this dish.

I love that this dish can be made ahead of time and reheated later. It's perfect for busy weeknights when I don't have a lot of time to cook.

I've tried a lot of chicken eggplant and tomato bakes, but this one is by far the best. The recipe was easy to follow and the end result was a delicious and hearty meal.

I made this dish last night and it was a hit with my family! They raved about the flavors and textures, and even my picky eater went back for seconds.

This dish was an absolute delight! The chicken was tender and juicy, the eggplant was soft and flavorful, and the tomatoes added a wonderful tanginess. I especially loved the crispy Parmesan cheese topping that added a nice crunch.
