Steps to cook
-
Prepare the ingredients. This is what will be on the plate - prepare the ingredients ahead of time so the work flows smoothly.
-
Sear the chicken. Prepare the chicken and heat a small amount of vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chicken breast and sear it for about 4 minutes on each side to seal the meat. Season with salt and pepper, then remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
-
Cut the vegetables. Peel the red bell pepper and the onion and cut into thin strips.
-
Prepare the eggplant. Wash the zucchini and slice into rounds. Halve the eggplant, place it flat-side down, cut lengthwise and then chop into pieces about 1 cm in size. Season with salt and pepper and set aside briefly.
-
Sauté the eggplant. Add a little oil to the pan used for the chicken. First sauté the eggplant over medium heat for about 3 minutes, until it softens slightly and takes on color, then set it aside.
-
Sauté the zucchini and pepper. Add the zucchini and pepper to the same pan and sauté for about 3 minutes, until the vegetables soften slightly, then set them aside as well.
-
Sauté the onion. Finally add the onion to the pan and sauté for another approximately 3 minutes, until it softens and turns slightly pink.
-
Combine the vegetables. Return all the sautéed vegetables to the pan, add the tomato paste and sauté everything together for 1-2 minutes to let the paste become fragrant. Salt and pepper to taste.
-
Serve the vegetables. Divide the vegetables among plates and optionally garnish with torn basil.
-
Finish with the chicken on top. Briefly reheat the chicken in the pan, slice it and place it on the plate with the vegetables. Serve immediately.
