This one was pretty good. It took a while to get everything together, and I've never cooked with eggplant before so that was a task and a half to figure out how to peel the thing easily....
Ingredients
- 3 eggplants, peeled and cut lengthwise into 1/2 inch thick slices I didnt use all 3. I probably only used 1 whole eggplant
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - diced
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- salt and pepper to taste
Directions
- Place eggplant strips in a big pot of lightly salted water and soak for 30 minutes (this will improve the taste; they will leave a brown color in the pot).Instead of this, I layered the slices of eggplant in a colander and salted each piece then put another layer, salt, layer, salt, etc. Let that sit while I cooked the chicken and then rinsed it off.
- Remove eggplant from pot and brush lightly with olive oil. Saute or grill until lightly browned and place in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Set aside.
- Saute diced chicken and onion in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in tomato paste and water, cover skillet, reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Pour chicken/tomato mixture over eggplant. Season with oregano, salt and pepper and cover with aluminum foil. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
