How to Make Chicken Eggplant Aubergine Parmesan

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Slice eggplant 1/4 inch thick and salt both sides. Let sit for 30 minutes to draw out moisture. Pat dry with paper towels.
  3. While eggplant is salting, cut chicken breasts into 1/2-inch thick slices. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
  4. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown chicken for 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  5. In the same skillet, add more olive oil and sauté the eggplant slices until golden brown and tender (about 3-5 minutes per side).
  6. Assemble the parmesan in a baking dish: spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom. Layer with half of the eggplant, half of the chicken, and half of the mozzarella cheese. Repeat layers.
  7. Top with remaining marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly and the chicken is cooked through.
  9. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving with your favorite pasta and a green salad.
