- Wash the meat thoroughly and dry with a towel. Then you need to cut each chicken breast into four parts, beat them and pepper them.
Prepare the eggplants: wash, remove the stems, slice thinly to form long strips, add salt.
It's time to get to the rest of the ingredients: grate the cheese on a coarse grater, finely chop the garlic with a knife or pass it through a press, chop the dill, wash and cut the tomatoes into rings, getting rid of the stalks.
15 minutes after adding salt to the eggplants, fry them in olive oil for 3 minutes on each side over low heat.
To keep the eggplants from being greasy, you can transfer them to a paper towel for a few minutes after frying.
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Prepare a baking dish: grease the sides with oil and place the eggplants tightly on the bottom - you should get the first layer of the casserole, so try not to leave empty spaces, but do not touch half of the available eggplants yet.
The second row is the breast - you need to use part of the meat, as there will be another layer of chicken. Then place the eggplants again, and the breast again on it. Tomatoes cover the top of the last row of meat; they are sprinkled with dill and garlic. The final layer should be cheese, which also serves as decoration.
Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. It is better to serve the dish not immediately after cooking, but after a quarter of an hour, when the casserole has cooled down a little.
Advice:
It is better to use medium-sized blue ones, since large ones contain many substances that adversely affect the human body.
This is how you can quickly prepare not only a tasty, but also a healthy dish: it contains meat protein, vitamins, fats and vegetables necessary for the body. Bon appetit!

During the summer season, housewives try to diversify the options for preparing zucchini or eggplant. Original delicious dishes made from these vegetables are casseroles with the addition of tomatoes, potatoes, minced meat and other ingredients.

How to make eggplant casserole
If you follow a number of simple rules and the right combination of ingredients, preparing a vegetable casserole is very simple.

- adding cheese, tomato or white sauce to make the finished casserole juicier;
- strict adherence to the recommended temperature and cooking time so as not to dry out the finished dish;

How to make a chicken and eggplant casserole with cheese
Preparing this dish from vegetables and chicken fillet is as easy as shelling pears, so even the most novice cook can cope with this task. The appearance of the appetizer will be so festive and elegant that it can be served at the banquet table.
Another undoubted advantage of the treat is its accessibility, because vegetables can be used not only fresh, but also frozen.
- First, wash all the products and dry them slightly - we don’t need excess moisture in the casserole at all.
- Now we start slicing: we cut the tomatoes into circles, up to 5 mm thick, the chicken - in half along the grain, and the blue ones - into longitudinal slices no thicker than 0.5 cm.
- Add some salt to the meat, season with pepper and set aside for a while.
- After removing the husks from the garlic, we pass it through a hand press. Mix the resulting aromatic paste with half of the prepared butter.
- Armed with a culinary silicone brush, coat the eggplant “tongues” on both sides with aromatic oil, then place them on the bottom of a well-heated frying pan with a thick bottom.
- Fry, or rather dry, them without oil until lightly browned and immediately put in a greased form, then sprinkle with half of finely chopped dill.
- Place the fillet pieces tightly on top, cover them with slices of tomatoes, overlapping the vegetables, and add a little more dill.
- The last layer is cheese crumbles.
- Next, all that remains is to place the mold in the oven, preheated to the optimal 190 degrees, and hold it behind the closed door for about 40 minutes until the ingredients soften.
It is best to serve the treat warm, when the cheese is still stretchy, and vegetables and meat, brought to the maximum degree of tenderness, exude an incredibly appetizing aroma.
