Ground chicken stuffing

  • Once the ground chicked is marinated, add two eggs, almond flour(or Chia seed/Quinoa) to the ground chicken and mix everything well.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degree F or 204 degree C
  • Prepare the eggplant medallions: Cut 1" thick round medallions, then cut through the round edge in the middle of the medallions but not all the way through to create a pocket for the stuffing
  • Place all the eggplant medallions on the parchment paper over the baking sheet. Brush the olive oil dressing on both sides of the eggplant medallions. Bake the eggplant medallions in the oven first until they show the browning and shrinking about 12-15 minutes. Then take them out of the oven to a counter, and use a folk and spoon to stuff in the ground chicken mixture in the middle of each eggplant medallion.
  • Place the stuffed eggplant medallions in the oven to continue to bake for 5 minutes. Then move the baking sheet to the top rack to broil the eggplant for 2-3 minutes to get the beautiful browning. Watch the eggplants closely to avoid burning.
