A handful of Italian-style pantry staples team up with chicken for this hearty entree that your and yours will love. Just add breadsticks! —Kristin Miller, Carmel, Indiana
Ingredients:
1 small eggplant, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (5 ounces each)
1/8 teaspoon italian seasoning
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2 cups tomato basil pasta sauce
3/4 cup (3 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
Directions:
1. Place eggplant in a colander over a plate; sprinkle with salt and toss. Let stand for 30 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, sprinkle chicken with Italian seasoning and pepper. In a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray, brown chicken on both sides. Transfer chicken to a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish; sprinkle with 1/3 cup mozzarella cheese.
3. Rinse eggplant; pat dry with paper towels. Transfer to a large bowl; add pasta sauce and toss to coat. Spoon over chicken; top with remaining cheese.
4. Cover and bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 170°. Yield: 2 servings.
