Serves 4 » Adapted from Allrecipes.com

Serve with crusty bread and a salad with Feta and Kalamata olives.

Ingredients:
    1 medium eggplant (about 1/2 pound)
    2 medium red bell peppers (about 1 pound)
    3/4 teaspoon salt, divided
    1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
    1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
    1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper, divided
    4 (4-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
    2 teaspoons Brennan's Olive Oil, divided
    1 teaspoon paprika
    4 teaspoons lemon juice


Preparation:

Slice eggplant in half lengthwise, and pierce skin with a fork. Cut tops off bell peppers; discard tops, seeds, and membranes. Place eggplant and bell peppers on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave on high for 8 minutes or until tender.

While the eggplant cooks, combine 1/4 teaspoon salt, ginger, garlic powder, and 1/8 teaspoon red pepper; sprinkle the chicken with the ginger mixture. Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken, and cook for 6 minutes on each side or until chicken is done.

Combine eggplant and bell peppers in a blender or food processor. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon red pepper, 1 teaspoon oil, paprika, and juice; process until smooth. Serve chicken with sauce.
