INGREDIENTS
150g Eggplant
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce
56g Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
14g Parmesan Cheese
50g Whole Wheat Hero Roll
3 oz Grilled Chicken Breast
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Slice the eggplant into 1/4-inch thick rounds and lightly brush both sides with a bit of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
Place the eggplant slices on a lined baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden and crispy.
While the eggplant bakes, warm the marinara sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Lightly toast the whole wheat hero roll in the oven or on a skillet until crisp on the outside.
Assemble the hero by layering the crispy eggplant slices with warmed marinara sauce. Sprinkle evenly with part-skim mozzarella and a light dusting of parmesan cheese.
Top the layers with pre-sliced, grilled chicken breast to boost protein content and then place under a broiler for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven, slice the hero if desired, and serve immediately.
