Time 45m

Yield 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 (6 ounce) boneless skinless chicken breast halves, trimmed of fat
1 crushed garlic clove
1 small eggplant (1 pound or less, will only use 4 slices)
2 thin slices prosciutto
1/2 cup Italian breadcrumbs
2 large eggs
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 lb fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
grated parmesan cheese
extra virgin olive oil
salt
2 cups marinara sauce
1/4 lb fusilli, cooked al dente
couple leaves torn fresh basil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Sprinkle the chicken breast halves with salt, pepper, drizzle with olive oil and turn to coast with the crushed garlic. Let rest while you prepare the sauce and eggplant.
  • In a small saucepot, heat the tomato sauce and warm through.
  • Peel the eggplant and slice across the width into 1/4 inch rounds. You will only need four pieces for this recipe. I used the larger, center slices. Place the breadcrumbs and the flour each in two shallow plates.
  • Crack the eggs into a bowl and beat. Dip each piece of eggplant first into the flour, tapping off excess, then into the beaten egg, allowing excess to drip off, then lastly, coat in breadcrumbs.
  • Heat a large (12") skillet over medium-high heat and add 1/4 cup oil. When oil is shimmering gently lay in the eggplant and fry until golden brown on each side. Place on a plate lined with a paper towel and sprinkle lightly with salt. Set aside while finishing the chicken.
  • Heat a cast iron grill pan (or other grilling device) over medium high heat. Grill the chicken breasts on each side until nicely marked but not cooked through; set aside.
  • In a bowl, toss the fusilli with 1/2 of the marinara sauce, enough to coat well and sprinkle with a little grated parmesan. Place in the bottom of a small, lightly oiled baking dish. Place the chicken pieces side by side on top of the pasta. Top each piece of chicken with a slice of prosciutto, two pieces of eggplant and the sliced mozzarella.
  • Bake until the cheese is melted and the chicken is cooked through, approx 10 minutes. You can brown the cheese with a quick run under the broiler, if desired. Top with remaining sauce and fresh basil.

This was a great recipe! The chicken was tender and juicy, and the sauce was creamy and flavorful. I loved the addition of sun-dried tomatoes and spinach. I will definitely be making this again.

This recipe was a bit too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less salt next time.

The chicken was a bit dry. I think I would try cooking it in a different way next time.

I found this recipe to be a bit time-consuming. It took me over an hour to make, which is longer than I would like for a weeknight meal.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I would have liked more spices and herbs in the sauce.
