Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Eggplant

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

  2. 2

    Sauté the Eggplant

    In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the eggplant slices and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from skillet and set aside.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Chicken

    Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper. In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil and increase the heat to medium-high. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, until fully cooked.

  4. 4

    Layer the Chicken

    Once the chicken is cooked, place a slice of prosciutto atop each breast, followed by a generous portion of fontina cheese and the sautéed eggplant.

  5. 5

    Make the Madeira Sauce

    In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Pour in the Madeira wine and chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let it simmer for 5-7 minutes until slightly reduced.

  6. 6

    Combine and Serve

    Pour the Madeira sauce over the chicken breasts. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
