Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Heat 1/4 cup of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced eggplant and cook until it begins to soften and lightly brown, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the eggplant from the skillet and set aside.
- Add the red onion to the same skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes until it becomes translucent.
- Add the red pepper and zucchini to the skillet. Cook for another 5-7 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
- Stir in the minced garlic and 1 tsp of chili powder. Cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the tomatoes (diced), cooked eggplant, and 1 tsp of sugar to the skillet. Stir to combine.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the mixture simmer for about 20-25 minutes until all the vegetables are tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm while you prepare the chicken.
- Heat an oven-safe skillet or a stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake the chicken breasts for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes.
Tips:
- Make sure to salt the eggplant and let it sit for about 30 minutes before cooking. This helps to remove any bitterness and excess moisture.
- Use fresh rosemary if possible, as it provides a more potent and aromatic flavor compared to dried rosemary.
- Do not overcrowd the pan when cooking the vegetables; cook them in batches if necessary to ensure they are properly sautéed.
- Feel free to adjust the seasoning according to your taste. Adding a bit of fresh basil or thyme can provide a different but equally delightful flavor profile.
- Serve the dish with a side of crusty bread or over a bed of quinoa or couscous to soak up the delicious juices from the ratatouille.
