Chicken Eggplant Parmesan

Eggplant is one of Kelsey's favorite foods and we eat a lot of it in the summertime. We got some in our Bountiful Basket and we were so excited to make this. I had never had eggplant before I met her and was so scared to try it. But once you try this, you will be hooked like I am! I don't really follow any certain recipe so hopefully this won't be too confusing.

Ingredients:
  • 2-3 chicken breasts
  • Eggplant
  • Italian Breadcrumbs
  • Eggs
  • Marinara Sauce
  • Oil
  • Parmesan Cheese
  • Mozzarella Cheese
Directions:
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  2. Cut eggplant into round strips. Beat chicken to thin it.
  3. Dip eggplant pieces into egg then breadcrumbs and put it on oiled griddle. Do the same with the chicken.
  4. When both chicken and eggplant are browned, cut chicken however big or small you want them in the pan.
  5. In a 9x13 (or smaller) pan, layer marinara, eggplant, chicken and parmesan cheese. You can do 1 big layer or we do 2 layers of each. Top with mozzarella cheese. (We do 1 layer of marinara on the bottom and use the rest of it to cover the entire thing on top.)
  6. Cover and cook for 30-35 minutes to heat thoroughly.
