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.
