  • 14 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 -4 slices fresh mozzarella cheese
  • 12 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 12 cup water

Method

  • Heat medium non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
  • Clean and trim fat off chicken cutlets.
  • Add 1 or 1/2 tablespoons of butter, and 0.125 cup of olive oil to the pan.
  • Next, heat another medium non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
  • For the eggplant: While the first frying pan is warming, beat the egg in a medium bowl.
  • Wash the eggplant and cut into 1/4 inch pieces.
  • Place bread crumbs on a separate plate.
  • Now, add the chicken to the first frying pan (with the butter and oil), salt and pepper the chicken to taste and brown on both sides.
  • Make sure it's cooked through.
  • Once they are finished, transfer to separate plate and keep warm.
  • Continue until all chicken cutlets are cooked.
  • Add enough vegetable oil to the other frying pan to cover the bottom.
  • Dip the eggplant first in the egg then in the breadcrumbs, covering both sides.
  • Place eggplant in frying pan and cook.
  • Transfer to separate plate and keep warm.
  • Continue until you've cooked enough eggplant.
  • When all the chicken is finished cooking, add 1/2 cup of water to the hot pan and scrape all remains from the bottom, mix with the water.
  • Put on high heat, bring to a boil, and let reduce for a couple of minutes.
  • Add 1/2 cup white wine or white cooking wine.
  • Let boil and reduce until about half.
  • Put on low heat.
  • When all the eggplant is cooked, heat a broiler, place one layer of chicken, top with eggplant, and then mozzarella cheese.
  • Broil until cheese is melted.
  • Transfer to plate, pour sauce (distribute evenly among plates) over chicken.
  • Viola, serve!
