Directions

  1. Place eggplant strips in a big pot of lightly salted water and soak for 30 minutes (this will improve the taste, they will leave a brown color in the pot).

  2. Remove eggplant from pot and brush lightly with olive oil. Saute or grill until lightly browned and place in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Set aside.

  3. Saute diced chicken and onion in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in tomato paste and water, cover skillet, reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.

  4. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

  5. Pour chicken/tomato mixture over eggplant. Season with oregano, salt and pepper and cover with aluminum foil. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
