Sabbath Sunday: Chicken Eggplant Parm In One Recipe

The Struggle is real.  Chicken Parmesan or Eggplant Parmesan.  Now, you don’t have to choose.  You can have them together, here’s how.

It’s pretty simple, really. You pound your chicken, you slice up an eggplant,  you cut fresh slices of mozzarella, you put them in between a piece of chicken and the eggplant, you hold it together really tight and dip it in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs and fry it up in a skillet with olive oil and bake it with marinara and and more mozzarella on top.  Mmm Mmm good.
