Time 1h15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 24

2 eggs, beaten
1 tablespoon water
4 chicken breast fillets
200 g breadcrumbs
200 g finely grated parmesan cheese
olive oil, for shallow-frying
garlic clove, for rubbing
2 mozzarella cheese, finely sliced
fresh oregano leaves
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 onion, chopped
4 -6 garlic cloves, chopped
4 large plum tomatoes, chopped
1 tablespoon capers
2 tablespoons tomato puree
4 aubergines, thinly sliced
200 g pitted black kalamata olives, in olive oil
200 ml red wine
black pepper
salt
mixed salad green
1/2 lemon
handful of leaves basil
parmesan cheese, shavings

Steps:

  • Aubergines. Fry the aubergine slices in olive oil until golden brown, then set aside. OR, brush them lightly with olive oil and spread the slices on a baking (cookie) sheet and place in a pre-heated oven (200C/400F/Gas 5) for about 15 minutes or until golden brown and slightly crispy.
  • Tomato sauce. Heat the olive oil in a heavy-based saucepan. Add the onion and garlic and fry until softened, around 5 minutes. Add the chopped tomatoes and fry for a further 3-5 minutes, mixing well. Add the capers, tomato puree, olives and red wine. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes.
  • Mix the breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese together, then beat together the eggs with the water. Dip the chicken in the egg mixture, then coat thoroughly in the breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese.
  • Heat the olive oil in a heavy-based frying pan. Add the coated chicken and fry until golden on both sides - about 5 minutes. Set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 180°C/350F/Gas 4. Oil a shallow ovenproof dish and rub with garlic. Place the aubergines in a layer over the base of the dish and then add the fried chicken breasts and pour half of the tomato sauce in and around the chicken.
  • Layer the sliced mozzarella over the chicken, then spoon the remaining tomato sauce over the chicken breasts. Sprinkle with a little more grated parmesan. Tuck a few fresh oregano leaves in and around the chicken and sauce.
  • Bake the chicken for 40 to 45 minutes until cooked through.
  • Serve the chicken on a bed of mixed salad leaves, flavoured with a squeeze of lemon and garnish with basil or oregano and more Parmesan shavings.

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 small eggplant (about 1 pound), trimmed and cut into 8 slices
Nonstick cooking spray
1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 large egg whites, lightly beaten
3 cups crispy rice cereal, such as Rice Chex, finely crushed
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
4 boneless skinless chicken cutlets (12 to 14 ounces total)
4 teaspoons olive oil
1 1/3 cup no-salt-added crushed tomatoes
1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
Chopped parsley, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler. Mist both sides of the eggplant slices with nonstick cooking spray and sprinkle both sides with the Italian seasoning, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Place on a rimmed baking sheet and broil until browned and tender, turning once, about 6 minutes. Set aside. Reduce the oven temperature to 425 degrees F.
  • Meanwhile, combine the flour and cayenne in a shallow dish. Combine the egg whites and 1 teaspoon water in a second dish. Combine the cereal and parmesan cheese in a third dish. Working with 1 piece of chicken at a time, dredge with the flour and tap off the excess. Coat with the egg whites and then place in the cereal mix and press until well coated on both sides. Repeat with the remaining chicken.
  • Mist a large nonstick skillet with nonstick cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat. Add 1/2 of the oil and then 2 pieces of the coated chicken. Cook, turning once, until the chicken is just cooked through, about 5 mintues. Transfer to a 9-by-13-inch baking dish coated with nonstick cooking spray and repeat with the remaining oil and chicken.
  • Place 2 eggplant slices on each chicken cutlet and top evenly with the tomatoes and cheese. Return to the oven and bake until the cheese is melted and lightly browned, 15 to 20 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley and 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste.

Categories     Soups, Stews and Chili Recipes     Stews     Chicken

Time 2h1m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 teaspoon olive oil
1 large eggplant, cut into 1-inch cubes
6 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 cups sliced onions
12 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon paprika
1 ½ teaspoons coarse kosher salt
1 ½ teaspoons ground coriander
1 ½ teaspoons ground fennel seeds
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
2 (14.5 ounce) cans stewed tomatoes, hand-crushed and juice reserved
2 cups sliced red bell peppers
½ cup white wine
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, or more to taste
1 (4.5 pound) whole chicken, separated and breasts split and skinned
1 tablespoon chopped fresh marjoram

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet with 1 teaspoon olive oil.
  • Place eggplant in a large bowl. Drizzle 1/4 cup olive oil over eggplant and toss to coat. Spread eggplant on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven, stirring occasionally, until eggplant is softened and browned, about 25 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large, wide pot over medium-high heat; cook and stir onions and garlic until onions are softened, about 10 minutes. Stir paprika, kosher salt, coriander, fennel seeds, black pepper, cumin, ginger, and turmeric into onion mixture; cook and stir for 1 minute.
  • Mix tomatoes, half of the reserved tomato juice, red bell peppers, white wine, and lemon juice into onion mixture; bring to a boil. Reserve the remaining tomato juice to thin the stew if needed.
  • Arrange chicken in a single layer in the pot; cover with some of the tomato mixture. Return stew to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Flip chicken, cover, and simmer until no longer pink in the center, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Stir eggplant and marjoram into stew; simmer uncovered until heated through, about 10 minutes.
