Ingredients
200g chicken breast or thighs
1 large eggplant
100g feta cheese
4 tbsp Greek yogurt
2 garlic cloves
2 tbsp chili oil
2 tbsp olive oil
½ tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
1 tsp paprika
1 tbsp chopped parsley (optional)
Instructions
1. Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces and toss with olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, and paprika. Let marinate for 15 minutes.
2. Slice eggplant into ½-inch thick rounds. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and roast at 425°F (220°C) for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway.
3. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken pieces until golden and cooked through, about 6–8 minutes.
4. In a food processor, blend feta, Greek yogurt, 1 garlic clove, a splash of olive oil, and pepper until smooth and creamy. Adjust consistency with water or lemon juice if needed.
5. On a plate, spread a generous layer of whipped feta. Top with cooked chicken and roasted eggplant.
6. Drizzle chili oil over everything just before serving.
7. Garnish with chopped parsley if using.
8. Serve immediately and enjoy the perfect blend of spicy, creamy, and crispy.
Notes
Use full-fat feta and Greek yogurt for the creamiest whipped texture.
Don’t overcrowd the pan when cooking chicken—work in batches for a better sear.
For extra crispy eggplant, salt the slices 15 minutes before roasting and pat dry.
