Chicken Breast Roasted on Tomatoes and Eggplant with Oregano


Oh . . . I know some abhor eggplant (aubergine)




But not me.

Having grown up in California I feel fortunate my parents introduced us to almost every (fresh) vegetable imaginable which were available here while we were young.

Although I wasn't overjoyed [understatment !] when eggplant was on the dinner menu back then ... I learned to tolerate it.

Now I like it very much.

And there are so many ways to prepare it ...
such as this way ~




This is such a delicious and easy recipe.


A thick slice of eggplant, slices of tomatoes, then sea salt, cracked pepper, oregano leaves (fresh or dried), topped with a boneless, skinless chicken breast.


Put it in the oven to bake at 350* (F) for a bit, then topped with grated mozzarella and Parmesan cheese, returned to the oven to finish until cheese topping is melted and slightly golden.

It's soo good ~ And fairly healthful ~ I hope you like it too.







Truly, no recipe needed, ... but I've posted it on my recipe blog if you would like a printable copy ~ click HERE.



Thank you for stopping by ~ Please leave a comment!

I truly appreciate the messages and words you leave for me.
