Savor a delicious twist on a classic favorite.

Sliced grilled chicken adds a hearty protein boost, all embraced by wholesome whole wheat bread for a balanced, comforting meal.
INGREDIENTS
150g Eggplant
3 oz Grilled Chicken Breast
2 slices Whole Wheat Bread
1 oz Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
1 tbsp Parmesan Cheese
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Panko Breadcrumbs
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
Slice the eggplant into 1/4-inch rounds. Lightly coat each slice with a thin layer of olive oil spray (optional) and then dredge in whole wheat panko breadcrumbs. Arrange the breaded eggplant slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Roast the eggplant in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, until they are golden and crispy.
While the eggplant is roasting, warm the tomato sauce in a small saucepan over low heat and prepare the grilled chicken by slicing it into thin strips.
Toast the whole wheat bread slices lightly. On one slice of bread, layer the roasted eggplant, spooned tomato sauce, sliced grilled chicken, and top with mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses.
Optionally, place the assembled open-faced sandwich under a broiler for 1-2 minutes to slightly melt the cheeses and meld the flavors.
Finish by topping with the second slice of toasted bread, then slice in half and serve immediately.
