Having prepared this delicious casserole of poultry and vegetables once, you will want to come back to it again and again. Because it's very tasty. We have already baked chicken with and. Now it’s the turn of the eggplants.
The food is prepared from the simplest ingredients, but the end result is not a regular dish, but a gourmet dish. It is no coincidence that the recipe has become a favorite in our family, so I offer it to you.
Photos and explanations will help you quickly complete the task. The chicken for dinner should be the best!
It is permissible to greet guests with such a treat: it turns out delicious. After all, in addition to chicken fillet and blueberries, tomatoes and cheese are added here. This product set fits perfectly together.
Ingredients:
I repeat once again that the dish turns out incredibly tasty, so for a large family you can safely double the amount. The same should be taken into account by those who are expecting guests. For a regular dinner, just take:
- eggplants – 2 pcs.;
- chicken fillet (pure) – 500-600 g;
- tomatoes – 2-3 pcs.;
- sour cream – 150 ml;
- cheese – 150 g;
- garlic - 1 clove;
- soy sauce (dark only) – 1 tbsp. l.;
- salt, spices - to taste;
- greens (you can use several sprigs of dill and parsley) - a small bunch;
- vegetable oil – 2 tbsp. l.
Preparation:
Step 1. Our dish will be fantastically tasty if the meat is marinated first, so first prepare the fillet. It must be washed, dried with a paper napkin (towel), then cut into strips. Their size is not important at all, but make the thickness the same (1.5-2 cm).
Place the chicken in a bowl, add soy sauce, spices (you can only use pepper), and a little salt. Mix everything, trying to coat every piece in the marinade.
Leave the meat for 20-30 minutes, during which time it will absorb the desired flavors.
Step 2. Let's move on to the eggplants, which also need to be specially prepared.
It's no secret that this fruit often has a bitter taste. To get rid of it, I suggest salting the blue ones. Let's cut them into circles, as in the photo.
Then put the vegetables in a bowl, sprinkle with salt (1 tsp) and leave for 10-15 minutes. After cutting, rinse and dry.
Step 3. Don't forget about the remaining ingredients. Cut the tomatoes into slices.
Step 4. Hard cheese gives this dish a special taste; it brings its components together. We choose a tasty product. Italians would certainly use Parmesan, but for this case I use Russian or Dutch. We grate it, as we do for salads or casseroles.
Step 5. We proceed to assembling the casserole when all the ingredients are ready. Pour a couple of tablespoons of sunflower oil into the bottom of the mold or baking sheet. Place eggplant slices on top. By the way, I grease the mold not with a brush, but with one of the vegetable circles.
Then lay out the marinated chicken, pour the sauce over it if there is any left in the bowl.
Place finely chopped garlic and half of the grated cheese on top.
All that remains is to lay out a layer of eggplant.
I top it all with sour cream. If you want a spicier dish, use mayonnaise. You can mix it with ketchup, but I like the tenderness of the chicken, which I want to preserve.
Step 6. Place the prepared dish in the oven, preheated to 180º. Let bake for 30-35 minutes. Then we push it forward, sprinkle it with cheese and let it cook again for about 10 minutes.
Step 7. Before serving, sprinkle with finely chopped herbs and let sit for a little while.
Here is our delicious casserole, which we prepared so quickly in the oven. You can serve it with a side dish, although the combination of meat and vegetables is a complete dish.
Recipe for chicken in the oven with eggplant, tomatoes and potatoes
A juicy, aromatic dish with vegetables is prepared quickly and easily. Eggplants, tomatoes and potatoes go well together. Peppers and onions add flavor to food. And mushrooms add a special piquancy.
The following products will be required:
- chicken fillet;
- 1 eggplant;
- 1 potato tuber;
- 1 egg;
- 1 bell pepper;
- 1 tomato;
- 1 onion;
- 150 g mushrooms;
- 3 cloves of garlic;
- sesame seeds;
- turmeric;
- greens, salt, pepper.
How we will cook:
Divide the chicken fillet into two parts, remove the membranes. Cut into slices. The thinner they turn out, the better.
Sprinkle the layers with spices; turmeric, paprika, and pepper are suitable. Pass the garlic through a garlic press, add a little vegetable oil to the pulp. Brush the layers of meat with this mixture. Place them in a separate bowl and leave to marinate.
Now let's prepare the vegetables. Cut the onion into half rings. Peel the pepper from seeds and divide into cubes. Cut the mushrooms into slices, tomatoes and eggplant into slices. Lightly sprinkle the blue vegetable with salt and fry the circles in a frying pan with vegetable oil.
Peel the potatoes and divide into cubes. In a separate bowl, sprinkle it with spices, add salt and add a little vegetable oil.
All the preparations are done, now all that remains is to place the food on a baking sheet. Place part of the onion on the oiled bottom. The next layer is meat, on top of which is a row of eggplants.
Place the potatoes around the perimeter of the baking sheet to help them bake faster. Place the next layer of mushrooms and another layer of meat.
Sprinkle with onion and bell pepper half rings. Place tomato slices and the last layer of chicken fillet on the pepper.
To prevent the pieces of the top layer of meat from drying out during baking, generously brush them with beaten egg.
Sprinkle the multi-layer workpiece with sesame seeds. Place the baking sheet in a preheated oven (200 degrees) for 40 minutes, covering it with foil.

It is very convenient to bake meat in the oven with vegetables in the oven. The top layer of the dish does not dry out. All products placed in the sleeve are baked evenly, soaked in aromas and spices and their own juice.

My family likes to cook and eat chicken with eggplants and tomatoes in the oven on holidays. The dish is self-sufficient and does not require any additional side dish. Vegetables and chicken always turn out juicy, and the whole dish is beautiful, thanks to the golden-brown cheese crust. This dish is best served in portions at the holiday table. If you have small oven-proof portion dishes, it is better to cook the chicken in them.
Let's prepare all the ingredients for cooking chicken with eggplant and tomatoes in the oven. If you want to get a very dietary version of the dish, it is better to fry eggplants on the grill without oil, then it is also better to exclude cheese and mayonnaise or replace them with low-fat varieties.
First of all, let's prepare the vegetables. Cut the eggplant into thin slices. Cut the tomato into thin slices. Chop the parsley and garlic.
Fry the eggplant slices in a grill pan for 4 minutes on each side. Grease the bottom of the baking dish with vegetable oil. Lay out half of the eggplant slices, slightly overlapping.
Cut the chicken breast into a thick cut and open it like a book, beat the fillet with a kitchen hammer and sprinkle salt, pepper and chicken seasoning on both sides.
Place the chicken fillet in the pan on top of the eggplants.
Place the remaining eggplant strips on top of the chicken fillet. Grease the top of the eggplants with mayonnaise or sour cream.
Carefully place tomato slices on top. Sprinkle them with chopped garlic and parsley.
The cheese can be grated, and if your cheese is already cut into portions, then lay them out overlapping as well. Just sprinkle the grated cheese evenly over the tomatoes. You can sprinkle the cheese with paprika on top, but this is more for beauty. Place the pan with the chicken in an oven preheated to 170 degrees C for 25-30 minutes.
When cooking chicken with eggplants and tomatoes in the oven, a lot of juice will be released; you can then drain it or make a sauce with it.
Serve the finished dish in portions.
It looks good on the holiday table and turns out very, very tasty. Bon appetit!
Delicious oven-baked chicken with eggplant and tomatoes
Ingredients
Chicken weighing 1.5 kg.
2 medium eggplants.
2 medium bell peppers.
2 medium young carrots.
2 medium onions.
3-4 cloves of garlic.
4 small tomatoes.
A couple of tablespoons of sour cream.
Purple basil and oregano leaves.
Homemade Chicken Spice Blend.
Black pepper.
Salt.
How to cook
1. Salt the carcass outside and inside, sprinkle with spices (I had homemade ones, prepared in Sochi by Aunt Nino). I suspect that the mixture includes Imeretian saffron, coriander, dried garlic and much more that is unknown to me. Leave in a cool place for several hours. My chicken stood like this for about 12 hours.
2. Wash young eggplants with underdeveloped seeds and delicate skin and cut into cubes.
3. Wash the bell pepper, remove the seeds, cut into cubes or large strips.
4. Peel the washed carrots and cut them into medium cubes.
5. Cut the peeled onion into 4-6 pieces lengthwise.
6. Coarsely chop the peeled garlic.
7. Place the mixed vegetables in the bowl in which you plan to make the baked chicken, add salt, sprinkle with spices, and add herbs.
8. Coat the chicken with sour cream on all sides and place on top of the vegetables.
9. Bake at 200°C for about 1 hour, reduce the temperature to 170°C and bake for another 20 minutes.
10. Remove the chicken and eggplant from the oven, let stand for 5-10 minutes, serve to the hungry and aromatic home with slices of ciabatta, fresh tortillas or fresh homemade bread. There's no need to dip the sauce - it's great. For adults, you can pour a glass of cool, good wine - white or red (it's up to you).
Adviсe:
You can take twice as many vegetables - they turn out to melt in your mouth. You can add more zucchini for variety.
The dish is quite suitable for a festive table
There is minimal fuss with this chicken in the oven - you put it in and it cooks almost on its own. There is no need to water, stir or do other manipulations during cooking.
As an additional side dish, simple folded rice would go very well with the dish.
You need to add more greens. Basil, savory, tarragon, oregano, thyme are suitable.

Hello my dear readers! It seems like I didn’t plan to cook anything like this, but the day before I had a couple of eggplants left over from cooking. I couldn’t decide where to put them right away. I wanted to bake a prosaic one for lunch, but then I changed my mind - there weren’t enough potatoes for four mouths. "Eureka!" Not only Archimedes cried out when he immersed his body in the liquid, but also I today, having decided to pair the chicken with eggplants and other gifts from the fields. My impromptu recipe resulted in a very good-tasting chicken with eggplant and tomatoes in the oven. 
She may not look very presentable. I cooked the chicken in the evening and with my weak-sighted eyes I didn’t see all the “stubs” on the body of the baked chicken, which I pulled out with tweezers. I had to give some of the meat with spines to the dog, for which she was very grateful to me... But it turned out very, very tasty, please take my word for it!
I make fragrant ajapsandal (recipe) quite often in the summer. But this is the first time I’ve combined a whole chicken and eggplants into a single dish, although I’ve been making a casserole with chicken breast, tomatoes, cheese and blueberries for a long time. It turned out to be a very advantageous combination - meat with an unusual side dish. To ensure that the dish is not too high in calories, I recommend trimming off excess fat from the chicken before baking. so what do we need to do?
