Original Recipe Yield 4 to 6 servings
 

Ingredients

  • 3 eggplants, peeled and cut lengthwise into 1/2 inch thick slices
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - diced
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Place eggplant strips in a big pot of lightly salted water and soak for 30 minutes (this will improve the taste; they will leave a brown color in the pot).
  2. Remove eggplant from pot and brush lightly with olive oil. Saute or grill until lightly browned and place in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Set aside.
  3. Saute diced chicken and onion in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in tomato paste and water, cover skillet, reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.
  4. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  5. Pour chicken/tomato mixture over eggplant. Season with oregano, salt and pepper and cover with aluminum foil. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
