Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Eggplant

    Slice the eggplant into 1/2-inch thick rounds, sprinkle with salt, and let it sit for about 30 minutes to draw out moisture. Rinse and pat dry.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until cooked through. Remove from skillet and let rest.

  3. 3

    Fry the Eggplant

    In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil. Cook the eggplant slices for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Add more oil as needed and set aside on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Layer the Dish

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). In a baking dish, spread a layer of marinara sauce, followed by a layer of chicken, then eggplant, and a sprinkle of mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Repeat the layers, finishing with cheese on top.

  5. 5

    Bake

    Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until bubbly and golden.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh basil leaves.
