INGREDIENTS
1/2 medium Eggplant (150g)
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1/3 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs (30g)
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce (125g)
1/4 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese (28g)
Olive Oil Cooking Spray
1 tsp Italian Seasoning
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly spray with olive oil.
Slice the eggplant into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of Italian seasoning.
Coat the eggplant slices lightly in whole wheat breadcrumbs. Arrange them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the eggplant slices for 20-25 minutes until crispy and golden, flipping halfway through.
While the eggplant bakes, season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning, then grill or pan-sear until fully cooked. Once cool, slice into strips.
Assemble your hero by layering crispy eggplant slices with a spoonful of marinara sauce, grilled chicken strips, and shredded mozzarella cheese.
Place the assembled layers back into the oven for an additional 5 minutes, just until the cheese melts.
Serve warm and enjoy your balanced, protein-packed Eggplant Parm Hero.
