Chicken with eggplant and tomatoes in the oven

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 20 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to bake eggplant with chicken? Prepare the necessary ingredients for the dish. It is better to take large eggplants; they are laid out in two layers and should completely cover the entire perimeter.

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash the eggplants, dry them and cut them lengthwise into slices. Salt the eggplants and leave for 20 minutes to remove the bitterness. Then rinse the vegetables in cold water and dry with napkins. Droplets of water must be removed, otherwise they will shoot in a hot frying pan and you will have to wash the kitchen of grease.

3. STEP 3

   

   Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan and fry the eggplant slices for 2-3 minutes on both sides. If you have a grill pan, fry the eggplants on it - you will get a beautiful pattern.

4. STEP 4

   

   Cut the chicken fillet into thin slices. If the pieces are thick, it is better to beat the meat with a hammer on both sides.

5. STEP 5

   

   Wash the tomato and cut into thin slices.

6. STEP 6

   

   Grate the cheese on a coarse grater.

7. STEP 7

   

   Wash the greens and chop finely. In addition to parsley, you can use any other greens to taste.

8. STEP 8

   

   Peel the garlic and chop finely. If you wish, you can omit the garlic at all.

9. STEP 9

   

   Place some of the eggplant slices in a baking dish greased with vegetable oil. They should completely cover the entire bottom of the mold.

10. STEP 10

    

    Place chicken fillet on top. Salt and pepper the meat.

11. STEP 11

    

    Place the remaining eggplant on the chicken.

12. STEP 12

    

    Place tomato slices on the eggplants. Lightly salt and pepper the tomatoes too.

13. STEP 13

    

    Distribute chopped garlic and herbs on top.

14. STEP 14

    

    Pour mayonnaise over everything. The easiest way to do this is to use a pastry bag or a regular plastic bag with the tip cut off.

15. STEP 15

    

    Sprinkle everything with grated cheese. Place the chicken with eggplants and tomatoes in an oven preheated to 180°C for 35-40 minutes. The exact time depends on the features of your oven, as well as the thickness of the layer of chicken fillet. If the cheese has browned and the dish is not ready yet, cover the pan with foil. Bon appetit!

Just a super casserole! This dish is just to my liking! Nourishing and delicious! Tender chicken meat combined with vegetables and a delicious crispy cheese crust! Definitely a must cook! All available products. And there is simply an abundance of eggplants on the market this year! And the garden is also starting to ripen. I will definitely make it for mine in the near future. I’ll probably just replace the garlic with onions; I don’t really like garlic. Thank you for the good and tasty recipe!

A very filling dish with fresh vegetables, chicken and cheese. Chicken with eggplants and tomatoes in the oven is, for me, a worthy answer to “French-style meat.” Thank you very much for the recipe!
