this is a recipe i never thought i would like. but i LOVE it! it is so easy to make. sometimes i serve it over pasta, sometimes not. it's up to you. i have added meat to my spaghetti sauce before, but that really isn't necessary either because the eggplant is a meat substitute.

Categories     One Dish Meal

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.

Tips:

  • To ensure the chicken breasts are evenly cooked, slice them to a uniform thickness before dredging and cooking.
  • When choosing eggplants, opt for smaller, firm ones, as they contain fewer seeds and have a milder flavor.
  • Soaking the eggplant slices in salted water prior to cooking helps to remove their bitterness and reduce their oil absorption.
  • For a crispier eggplant, coat the slices generously in breadcrumbs before shallow-frying or baking.
  • Use a combination of Parmesan and mozzarella cheeses for a rich, flavorful topping.
  • To prevent the cheese from burning during baking, cover the baking dish with aluminum foil for the first half of the cooking time.
  • Serve chicken eggplant Parmesan with a side of pasta, rice, or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.

Conclusion:

Chicken eggplant Parmesan is a versatile and delicious dish that combines the flavors of tender chicken, savory eggplant, and melted cheese.
