Step by Step guide

Step 1

Cut the eggplants and chicken breast (you can use other parts as well) into pieces. Salt the eggplants in a separate bowl, mix, and let them sit while you prepare the marinade to draw out the bitterness.

Step 2

In a bowl, mix the soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, chili, grated garlic, salt, and pepper. Rinse the eggplants with clean water and gently squeeze out excess moisture. Place the chicken and eggplants in a large bowl, pour in the marinade, and mix. Let it marinate for 30 minutes.

Step 3

After 30 minutes, transfer to a baking dish and place in a preheated oven at 392°F. Bake until cooked through — about 30–40 minutes. Stir a couple of times during the process.
