Ingredients

Grilled Eggplant Turnovers with Balsamic Baby Chicken

  • 1 large eggplant, sliced vertically into 1/4-inch (1/2-centimeter) strips (I use a mandoline)

  • 2 large red bell peppers, cut into quarters

  • 1 red onion, sliced into 1/4-inch (1/2-centimeter) rings

  • 2 pounds (910 grams) dark chicken cutlets

  • 1/4 cup balsamic glaze, plus more for drizzling (I use Tuscanini)

  • 1/4 teaspoon Gefen Salt, or to taste

  • black pepper, to taste

Balsamic Marinade

  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

  • black pepper, to taste

Directions

Prepare the Marinade

1.

Prepare the marinade by mixing all ingredients in a bowl.

Prepare the Grilled Eggplant Turnovers

1.

Place the eggplant, peppers, and onion in one bowl and the chicken cutlets in another bowl. Divide the marinade between the two bowls and toss to coat all vegetables and chicken with the marinade. Let everything sit for at least 20 minutes to absorb the flavors.

2.

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the eggplant strips until tender with slight grill marks. Cook the bell pepper quarters until softened and slightly charred. Grill the onion rings until caramelized. Grill the chicken cutlets until golden brown and cooked through.

3.

Once the chicken is fully cooked, chop it into bite-sized pieces and toss it with the balsamic glaze, salt, and pepper.

To Assemble

1.

Place a grilled eggplant strip on a surface. Layer it with a piece of grilled red pepper, a grilled onion ring, and a portion of the chopped, glazed chicken.

2.

Fold the eggplant over like a turnover, then drizzle the top with more balsamic glaze. Serve warm.
