Pasta Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Pasta

    In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the penne pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  1. 2

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Season with black pepper.

    Cook the Eggplant

    Dice the eggplant into small cubes. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the eggplant and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until soft and lightly browned. Remove and set aside.

    Cook the Chicken

    In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Then add the seasoned chicken pieces and cook for about 8-10 minutes, or until fully cooked and golden brown.
