Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Add chicken breasts, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Eggplant Spread

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the eggplant in half lengthwise, brush with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and sprinkle with salt. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes until tender. Once done, scoop the flesh into a bowl and mash it with a fork. Add minced garlic, remaining olive oil, and chopped fresh basil. Mix well and set aside.

  3. 3

    Marinate the Tomatoes

    Chop the tomatoes and place them in a bowl. Add minced garlic, remaining basil, a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss to combine and let sit for 15 minutes.

  4. 4

    Cook the Chicken

    Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from the marinade and grill for 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  5. 5

    Assemble the Dish

    Serve the grilled chicken topped with the roasted eggplant spread and marinated tomatoes. Enjoy!
