INGREDIENTS
1/2 medium Eggplant (halved)
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa
1/4 cup cooked Chickpeas
1/2 cup shelled Edamame
3 ounces Grilled Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Fresh Spinach
1 ounce Feta Cheese
1/2 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Mixed Herbs
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Slice the medium eggplant in half lengthwise and score the flesh lightly with a knife, then brush with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and mixed herbs.
Place the eggplant halves on a baking sheet, cut side up, and roast in the oven for about 25-30 minutes until the flesh is tender.
While the eggplant roasts, prepare the filling. In a bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, chickpeas, shelled edamame, and diced grilled chicken breast. Toss in fresh spinach and crumble feta cheese over the mix. Adjust seasonings with salt, pepper, and extra herbs if desired.
Once the eggplant is done roasting, use a spoon to slightly scoop out some of the soft inner flesh to create more space for the filling, then gently mix the scooped eggplant into the filling if desired.
Spoon the hearty mixture evenly into each eggplant boat. Return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes to meld the flavors.
Remove from the oven and serve warm, enjoying a balanced dish rich in protein and vibrant in flavors.
