Delicious Chicken Parmesan Eggplant Sliders

This recipe combines breaded eggplant slices with seasoned chicken, marinara sauce, and mozzarella cheese, all baked to perfection. It takes about 45 minutes to prepare and serves 4 people.

Ingredients

2 medium eggplants, sliced into 1/2 inch rounds
1 cup breadcrumbs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 large eggs, beaten
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked and sliced
1 cup marinara sauce
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
Olive oil for frying
Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Eggplant: Sprinkle salt on the eggplant slices and let them sit for 30 minutes to draw out moisture. Rinse and pat dry.
Bread the Eggplant: In a shallow dish, mix breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese. Dip each eggplant slice in beaten eggs, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture.
Fry the Eggplant: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Fry the breaded eggplant slices until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
Assemble the Sliders: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). On a baking sheet, layer the fried eggplant slices, top with sliced chicken, marinara sauce, and mozzarella cheese.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve: Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired. Serve warm as sliders or with a side salad.
