Greek low fat Chicken and Eggplant


For 3 Portions:


- 3 Chicken Breast

- 1 Eggplant, cut 3 slices off for the chicken (about 1/2 inch thick)

- 1 pack of low fat Feta Cheese (or regular if you dont go for the low fat version)

- a few Kalamata Olives

- Oregano, lots of Dill, Pepper, Salt, Paprika


- Farfalle Pasta

- 1/2 jar of marinara sauce (I use Bertolli Spicy Tomatoe with Basil)

- Chopped up leftover Eggplant

- Chopped fresh mushrooms (about 1/2 pack)

- a little grated cheese


- Olive Oil


Season the meat with spices listed above. Flatten chicken and sprinkle some Italian Bread crumbs over both sides.


Fry chicken in spray coated pan to just sear the outside, then take out and set aside.


Season Eggplant Slices with same spices and fry to sear outsides in a little olive oil.


Put Chicken on a cookie sheet (spraycoated), top with some feta cheese, then add the eggplant slices. Sprinkle some more breadcrumbs on it.


Last cut olives into slices and put on top of the eggplant, with a little more feta and a bit of grated cheese (I used grated parmesan)


Preheat oven to 380 degrees and bake chicken for about 20 minutes (depending on thickness of the chicken)


-------------------------------------------


In the meantime cook pasta al dente.


In the pan that you used to sear the meat, heat a little olive oil and add chopped eggplant and mushrooms, together with the same spices.


Fry for a couple of minutes then add the marinara sauce. Add leftover Feta, if there is any leftover.


Cook until veggies are nice and tender, serve over Farfalle Pasta
