INGREDIENTS
1 medium Eggplant (200g)
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce (125g)
1/2 cup Shredded Part-Skim Mozzarella (56g)
1 tablespoon Grated Parmesan Cheese (5g)
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs (30g)
4 ounces Grilled Chicken Breast (113g)
Olive Oil Cooking Spray
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly spray a baking sheet with olive oil cooking spray.
Slice the eggplant into 1/4-inch thick rounds and arrange them on the baking sheet. Spray lightly with olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Bake the eggplant slices for 20-25 minutes until they are tender and slightly golden.
While the eggplant bakes, warm the tomato sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally.
If not already prepared, grill the chicken breast until cooked through, then slice into strips.
In a baking dish, layer the baked eggplant slices, spoon a thin layer of tomato sauce over each slice, sprinkle with shredded mozzarella and a dusting of Parmesan cheese. Repeat the layering if desired.
Sprinkle the whole wheat breadcrumbs evenly over the top for a light, crunchy texture.
Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the cheese melts and the breadcrumbs turn lightly crispy.
Remove from the oven, top with the sliced grilled chicken breast, and serve warm.
