- 2 cans chopped tomatoes 400g each
- 1 pinch caster sugar
- 2 1/4 cups white bread day-old
- 6 3/8 tablespoons Parmesan grated

- Preheat the oven to 425u0b0F. Arrange the eggplant slices in a baking dish then sprinkle with salt and 1 tbsp oil. Toss gently to coat. Bake for 25-30 mins until soft and golden.
- Decrease the oven to400u0b0F. Using a meat mallet, gently flatten the chicken breasts between 2 sheets of plastic wrap. Heat 2 tbsp oil in a frying pan and fry the chicken over a high heat for 2 mins on each side. Season and remove from the pan. Add the onion and garlic to the pan and saute for 3-4 mins. Stir in the tomato puree, followed by the chopped tomatoes and sugar. Season and simmer for 10 mins, stirring occasionally.
- Spread the sauce over the eggplant and lay the chicken on top. Place the Parmesan and bread in a food processor and blend into fine crumbs. Season the breadcrumbs then mix in the mozzarella. Sprinkle over the chicken. Bake for 25 mins until the topping is golden brown. Serve.
