Cooking Instructions
Prepare the Chicken
In a small bowl, mix paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Rub this spice mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts.
Cook the Chicken
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side until blackened and cooked through. Remove from heat and let rest.
Prepare the Ricotta Whip
In a mixing bowl, beat the ricotta cheese until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Make the Smoked Eggplant Puree
Blend the smoked eggplant in a blender or food processor until smooth. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Cook the Broccoli Rabe
Blanch the broccoli rabe in boiling salted water for 2-3 minutes, then drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking.
Garnish with Cherry Tomatoes
Halve the cherry tomatoes and set aside for garnish.
Serve
Slice the blackened chicken breasts and serve on a plate with a dollop of ricotta whip, a smear of smoked eggplant puree, blanched broccoli rabe, and garnished with cherry tomatoes.
