INGREDIENTS
1 medium Eggplant (200g)
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa (93g)
1/2 cup Chickpeas (82g)
1/4 cup Diced Tomatoes (40g)
1/4 cup Fresh Spinach (7g)
1 tbsp Feta Cheese (15g)
3 oz Grilled Chicken Breast (85g)
Herbs & Garlic (10g)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the medium eggplant in half lengthwise and scoop out some of the flesh to create a boat, leaving about a 1/2-inch thick shell.
Drizzle the eggplant halves lightly with olive oil (optional if within dietary preferences) and season with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until tender.
While the eggplant roasts, prepare the filling: In a bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, drained chickpeas, diced tomatoes, and fresh spinach.
Dice or shred the roasted grilled chicken breast and add it to the filling along with the crumbled feta cheese.
Finely chop fresh herbs and garlic and mix them into the filling for an added burst of flavor.
Once the eggplant halves are tender, remove them from the oven and spoon the quinoa-chicken mixture generously into each boat.
Return the stuffed eggplants to the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes to meld the flavors.
Serve warm, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.
