CHICKEN WITH EGGPLANT (LIDIA BASTIANICH)
Saw Lidia preparing this dish but didn't listen to the amounts in the recipe. So, I placed a request in the Recipes Forum and 1Steve was kind enough to send me this link. It was posted in Flavor Junkie's October 4, 2006 blog.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400ºF degrees.
- Trim the eggplants, and peel if you prefer. Lidia stripes them,
- Slice on an angle, so that you have 12 good slices in all.
- Dredge the eggplant in flour that has been seasoned with salt, pepper & Italian seasoning.
- Heat a large skillet (preferably with a lid), add enough oil to coat the bottom, and fry the eggplant on medium-high heat until caramelized on both sides.
- Set aside on paper towels to drain while you make the chicken.
- Lightly pound the chicken breasts and dredge in the seasoned flour.
- Reheat the same skillet on medium heat, add two tablespoons of oil and tablespoons of butter, swirling to mix.
- Cook the chicken until caramelized on the one side.
- You want the chicken to brown--but do not try to hasten the process by cooking it on high heat.
- You want to do it over gentle heat so as not to toughen the meat.
- Turn them over to caramelize on the other side, and top each breast with two slices of eggplant, then a spoonful of sauce, two basil leaves, and a good sprinkling of cheese, and as much Italian seasoning as you want.
- Let cook for about two minutes, turn up the heat to medium-high, add the wine to the pan, then the remaining tomato sauce.
- Shake the pan a bit to mix, add in the last two tablespoons of butter and shake again to mix.
- Put the lid on the pan (if your pan does not have a lid, cover with foil that has been sprayed with cooking spray) and finish cooking in the oven--approx 20 minutes.
- Remove from oven and serve with a flourish.
- Try to use homemade tomato sauce, this is one of those dishes where you will be greatly rewarded for using the homemade sauce.
- To cut down on the fat/calories, you can grill or roast the eggplant instead.
- It is this final oven cooking that makes the chicken meltingly tender and the wine, tomato sauce and butter transform themselves into an incredible sauce.

- Trim the eggplants, and slice them (skin on) into chunks 2 inches long and 1 inch thick. Toss them with 1 teaspoon of salt, and drain in a colander for 30 minutes to an hour. Rinse, and pat them dry with paper towels. Rinse the chicken pieces, pat them dry as well, and season all over with ½ teaspoon salt, so they’re ready for frying after the eggplant.
- Pour the vegetable oil in the skillet, and set over medium-high heat. Sprinkle flour over the eggplant chunks, dusting them on all sides. Spread them in the hot oil in one layer, leave them in place until sizzling, then turn and toss until nicely browned on all sides, about 4 minutes. Lift out the eggplant chunks with a slotted spoon, leaving the oil in the pan, and spread them on paper towels to drain.
- With the skillet again over medium-high heat, lay in all the chicken pieces in one layer in the hot oil. Let them sizzle in place for a minute or two, coloring the underside, then turn to brown another side. Fry the chicken, turning frequently, until each piece is golden all over, 6 minutes or longer. As the pieces are done, lift them, let the oil drain off, and set on a platter.
- Meanwhile, start the sauce in the deeper pan (or wait until you’ve finished frying the eggplant and chicken, if you prefer). Pour in the 2 tablespoons olive oil, and set the pan over mediumhigh heat. Stir in the chopped bacon, and cook until the fat starts to render, then scatter in the garlic cloves and peperoncino flakes. Cook, stirring and tossing, until the bacon and garlic are lightly colored.
