Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Arrange three shallow bowls. In the first bowl, place the flour.
- In the second bowl, beat together the egg and milk.
- In the third bowl, mix the bread crumbs with minced garlic.
- Season the chicken slices with salt and pepper.
- Coat each chicken breast slice in the flour, shaking off the excess.
- Next, dip the floured chicken slices into the egg mixture, ensuring they are well coated.
- Finally, press the chicken slices into the bread crumb mixture, making sure each piece is fully covered.
- Lightly salt the eggplant slices and let them sit for about 15 minutes to draw out moisture.
- Pat dry with a paper towel.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Fry the breaded chicken pieces until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the eggplant slices and cook until tender and golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a baking dish, layer the eggplant slices, followed by the fried chicken pieces.
- Top with sliced tomatoes and scatter basil leaves over the top.
- Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the dish.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 15-20 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
- Serve hot, garnished with extra basil leaves if desired.
Tips:
- Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness to ensure they cook uniformly.
- Use fresh basil leaves for the best flavor. If unavailable, dried basil can be a substitute.
- Bake the breaded chicken in the oven instead of frying for a healthier version.
- For extra crunch, use Panko bread crumbs instead of regular bread crumbs.
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes after cooking to allow the juices to redistribute.
- Serve with pasta or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
