INGREDIENTS
4 oz Grilled Chicken Breast
150g Eggplant
1 oz Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
1/4 cup Marinara Sauce
1 Whole Grain Hero Roll
Fresh Basil Leaves (4 sprigs)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Slice the eggplant into approximately 0.5-inch thick rounds.
Lightly season the eggplant slices with salt and pepper. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and spray lightly with olive oil.
Bake the eggplant for about 20-25 minutes until they are tender and begin to crisp at the edges.
While the eggplant is baking, grill the chicken breast (if not pre-cooked) until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Once cooked, slice the chicken into strips.
Warm the marinara sauce in a small pan over low heat.
Slice the whole grain hero roll open. Layer the bottom with baked eggplant slices, drizzle a bit of marinara sauce, add sliced grilled chicken, and top with a slice of mozzarella cheese.
Return the assembled hero to the oven for 3-5 minutes until the cheese starts to melt.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves and serve immediately.
