Stuffed eggplant chicken rolls with orange butter glaze are a delicious and gourmet dish that combines tender eggplant with savory chicken and a citrusy butter sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large eggplants, sliced lengthwise into thin strips
  • 2 chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
  • 1 cup ricotta or cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 orange, juiced
  • 1 orange, sliced into thin rounds
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the eggplant: Slice eggplants lengthwise into thin strips, brush with olive oil, season lightly with salt and pepper, then roast until soft and flexible for rolling.
  2. Make the filling: Mix shredded chicken with ricotta, mozzarella, garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper until creamy and well combined.
  3. Roll the eggplant: Place filling onto each eggplant strip, roll tightly, and arrange seam-side down in a baking dish.
  4. Make the citrus sauce: In a pan, melt butter, add chicken broth, orange juice, honey, salt, and pepper. Simmer until slightly thick and glossy.
  5. Bake: Pour citrus butter sauce over the rolls, top with orange slices, and bake at 190°C (375°F) until bubbling and golden.
  6. Serve: Finish with fresh parsley and spoon extra sauce over the top before serving.

Notes

  • Do not overbake eggplant or it will tear when rolling.
  • Use fresh orange juice for best flavor.
  • Add chili flakes for sweet-spicy contrast.
  • Let rest 5 minutes before serving for perfect texture.
