INGREDIENTS
1 eggplant (200g)
3 ounces chicken breast (85g)
0.5 cup cooked quinoa (92g)
0.25 cup chickpeas (40g)
1 cup raw spinach (30g)
1 ounce feta cheese (28g)
1 teaspoon olive oil (4.5g)
2 tablespoons mixed fresh herbs
1 clove garlic
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Slice the eggplant in half lengthwise and scoop out some of the flesh to create hollow boats. Brush the eggplant halves with olive oil and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Place the eggplant halves on a baking sheet, cut side up, and roast in the oven for 20 minutes until beginning to soften.
Meanwhile, in a skillet over medium heat, sauté minced garlic in a small drizzle of olive oil until fragrant. Add diced chicken breast and cook until fully cooked, about 5-6 minutes. Remove and shred or dice the chicken.
In a bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, chickpeas, spinach, shredded chicken, crumbled feta, and chopped fresh herbs. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Spoon the mixture evenly into the roasted eggplant boats.
Return the stuffed eggplant to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes to meld the flavors.
Remove from the oven, garnish with extra herbs if desired, and serve warm.
