Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 baby eggplant, halved
- Kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon pine nuts
- 4 thin chicken cutlets (about 1 pound total)
- Freshly ground pepper
- All-purpose flour, for dredging
- 3 cloves garlic, sliced
- 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, drained,rinsed and roughly chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, torn
- 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1/4 cup ricotta cheese
- Rustic bread, for serving
Directions
Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil over the eggplant halves in a microwave-safe bowl and sprinkle with salt. Cover with a microwave-safe plate and cook on high for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, toast the pine nuts in a skillet over high heat, about 1 minute; transfer to a bowl and add the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil to the skillet. Season the chicken cutlets with salt and pepper and dredge in the flour, shaking off the excess. Add to the skillet and cook until brown on one side, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the chicken, add the garlic and cook 2 more minutes. Remove the eggplant from the microwave, cool slightly and slice into chunks. Reduce the skillet heat to medium-low; add the sun-dried tomatoes, eggplant, basil, nuts and chicken broth to the skillet and bring to a simmer.
Transfer the chicken to plates; top each with ricotta and the eggplant mixture. Serve with the bread.

Great recipe but it has such great flavors, I don't think it needs the ricotta cheese. Great meal on a cold winter's evening.

Quick, easy and tasty meal that my husband loved! Will make again with a few tweaks - more semi-dried tomatoes, goat cheese instead of ricotta for a smoother texture, and half zucchini/ half eggplant if serving to friends who may not like eggplant. I used small chicken breast fillets, which I cut in half to ensure they were cooked through. Loved how quick this was to prepare!
