A delicious and healthy recipe for chicken parmesan stuffed eggplants, perfect for a comforting dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium eggplants, halved lengthwise
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 cup tomato sauce
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Slice the eggplants in half lengthwise and carefully scoop out part of the center flesh. Brush with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper. Place on a baking tray and roast for 20 minutes until softened.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium heat and sauté onions until tender. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in diced red bell pepper and cook until softened. Add shredded chicken, Italian seasoning, paprika, chili flakes, salt, and pepper. Pour in tomato sauce and simmer for 5 minutes until rich and flavorful. Mix in parmesan cheese and stir well.
  4. Fill each roasted eggplant generously with the chicken mixture. Top heavily with mozzarella cheese and parmesan cheese. Sprinkle oregano over the top. Bake for 15-20 minutes until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown.
  5. Finish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot with garlic bread, roasted vegetables, or a fresh green salad.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add sautéed mushrooms to the filling.
  • For a low-carb version, reduce the tomato sauce slightly and add more chicken.
  • For a vegetarian option, replace chicken with lentils or mushrooms.
  • For extra crispiness, broil for 2 minutes before serving.
