• Chicken and Eggplant Parmesan

    Crispy Chicken and Roasted Eggplant Parmesan Bake

    Ingredients:

    2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded thin

    1 medium eggplant, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds

    1 cup all-purpose flour

    2 eggs, beaten

    1 1/2 cups Italian-style breadcrumbs

    1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

    1 1/2 cups marinara sauce

    1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

    1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped

    Salt and black pepper to taste

    Olive oil, for frying and roasting

    Optional: red pepper flakes, for a spicy kick

    Directions:

    Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange eggplant slices on a baking sheet, brush both sides lightly with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 20 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and tender.

    Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Dredge each piece in flour, dip in beaten eggs, then coat in breadcrumbs mixed with half the grated Parmesan.

    In a skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil and fry chicken until golden and crisp on both sides (about 4 minutes per side). Drain on paper towels.

    In a large baking dish, spread a thin layer of marinara sauce. Layer roasted eggplant slices, then chicken. Top with more marinara, mozzarella, and the remaining Parmesan.

    Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.

    Garnish with chopped basil and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes, if desired. Serve hot.
