How To Make chicken sorrentino

  • Step 1
    EGGPLANT:
  • Step 2
    Preheat oven to 400ºF and line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
  • Step 3
    Place the eggplant slices on the prepared baking sheet and brush on olive oil just enough to cover the top; season with garlic salt, ground sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  • Step 4
    Transfer to the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes. Halfway through cooking, flip them and return to the oven for the remaining time.
  • Step 5
    Remove from the heat and set them aside.
  • Step 6
    CHICKEN:
  • Step 7
    In a shallow dish, add flour, Italian seasoning, garlic salt and freshly ground black pepper; stir to blend.
  • Step 8
    Working with one at a time, dredge the pounded chicken breast in flour coating both sides. Shake off any extra flour and place it on a plate while doing the others.
  • Step 9
    In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add oil and when it starts shimmering, without crowding, place chicken breasts and cook for 3 minutes per side or until golden.
  • Step 10
    When they’re done, transfer them to a plate while cooking the other pieces; set aside.
  • Step 11
    SAUCE:
  • Step 12
    In the same skillet, add onions and reduce the heat to medium; sauté 1 minute.
  • Step 13
    Add pressed garlic and sauté for only 30 seconds. Add red pepper flakes; sauté for 15 seconds.
  • Step 14
    Pour in Marsala wine and stir to coat. Add marinara sauce with a couple pinches of raw sugar; stir well and simmer for 5 minutes – if the sauce bubbles too much, reduce to medium-low.
  • Step 15
    ASSEMBLY:
  • Step 16
    In a 9x13 baking dish, spoon in a couple ladles of sauce just enough to cover the bottom. Place chicken pieces in the dish and cover with thin slices of prosciutto.
  • Step 17
    Place eggplant slices over the meat followed by a thin layer of sauce, spreading it evenly on the eggplant. Sprinkle cheese over covering the entire surface.
  • Step 18
    Transfer the dish to a 400ºF preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
  • Step 19
    Remove from the heat, sprinkle on some fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately.
