Ingrediencie

2 8-oz Boneless skinless chicken breasts

1 tsp Sea salt (for the chicken; plus a little more for the eggplant)

1/4 tsp Black pepper (for the chicken; plus a little more for the eggplant)

4 slices Eggplant (sliced into 1/4 inch thick circles; ~4 ounces)

3 tbsp Olive oil (divided into 1 tbsp and 2 tbsp)

2 slices Prosciutto (cut in half crosswise)

2 cloves Garlic

1 cup Marinara sauce

4 oz Fresh mozzarella cheese (4 slices, 1/4" thick)

1/4 cup Fresh basil (cut into thin ribbons)

Postup

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (204 degrees C).

Cut the 2 chicken breasts in half horizontally, making 4 chicken cutlets. Pat dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.

Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken cutlets and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown on both sides and the internal temperature reaches 155 degrees F (68 degrees C). Remove to a plate and cover to keep warm.

Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the skillet and reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the eggplant slices in a single layer. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Saute for 3-5 minutes per side, until soft and golden brown. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.

Add the garlic to the pan (along with a little more oil if the pan is dry). Saute for about 1 minute, until fragrant. Remove from heat.

Add the marinara sauce to the pan and nestle the chicken pieces in the sauce. Top each piece of chicken with a slice of prosciutto, then a slice of eggplant. Spoon some sauce from the bottom of the pan over the eggplant, leaving more behind in the pan. Top with fresh mozzarella.

Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 5-10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the chicken is cooked through. If you want the cheese browned, place under the broiler for 1-3 minutes.

Top the chicken Sorrentino with fresh basil right before serving.
