Delicious chicken schnitzel and eggplant on a savory tomato sauce base for a quick and satisfying family meal.
Ingredients:
  • 27.30 gm olive oil
  • 700g chicken schnitzel
  • 1 medium brown onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 340g jar fire-roasted pepper strips, drained
  • 230g tub diced antipasto chargrilled eggplant, drained (see note)
  • 412.50 gm tomato pasta sauce
  • 85.80 gm Spicy Red sauce
  • 62.50 ml fresh basil leaves, torn
  • 100g Mozzarella Cheese Block (500g), thinly sliced
  • 82.50 ml fresh breadcrumbs
  • Basil leaves, to serve
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven and warm oil in a large frying pan. Cook chicken in batches until beautifully browned and cooked through. Transfer to a plate.
  • In a pan, heat the remaining oil and sauté the onion and garlic until softened, about 2 minutes. Add the peppers and eggplant and cook for an additional minute. Pour in the pasta sauce and Spicy Red sauce, bring to a boil, then stir in basil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  • Bake until golden on top, then garnish with fresh basil before serving.
